Try doing a 'make menuconfig' in a shell instead. If you really want the xconfig remember to export the display correctly, and allow the connection on user side.
Found the problem. folks figured I'd respond to list (never hurts to have it on the archives).
Turns out I had two problems: 1. BIOS Flash to a unstable version. (seems the bios file 6vx7-4x.f38 has some issues) 2. Mismatched RAM modules. (I yanked mods out of my machine and used my wife's as a test bench).
After putting one of these modules in her machine and putter her's in mine I could compile the kernel with one bombout. So I booted to windoze (shiver) and flashed to older bios revision... Since then it's been ok, and my CPU temp has dropped down off the 80+ level too. After a fresh compile and an immediate reboot to enter BIOS and check temp there it was a full 20 degress cooler. Now I know that some would drop because the proc was no longer under load, but bear in mind this is in comparison to same sequence with bios f38. I've sent emails to gigabyte but no response. (shrug).
Thanks for your help in this matter guys, it's appreciated :-)
Next task: Is there a way to make the nvidia 1251 drivers run under mantel's 2.4.5 kernel? What am I missing? THey even bomb in my vanilla compile too. Any thoughts?

Get the tarballs and install from there, if you have not tried that already :-). Matt
