Still no luck solving this problem. I tried recompiling the kernel, but after ~8 hours of compiling time (on a P200 w/64mb) I got an error stating the kernel was too large... Arrggghhh!!!!
This is definetely unusual. It shouldnŽt take 8 hours to compile the kernel on a machine like yours. IŽll ask a bunch of questions, maybe we can isolate the problem.
The system doesn't seem to slow at the command line. Only in KDE is there a noticeable slowdown. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that's just because the CLI is inherently faster, or it's due to a problem with K.
o Are you doing your regular work as the root user, or do you have a "normal" account as well? Does it make a difference? o What kind of video card do you have and which X-Server do you run? o Do you have a sound card and is it configured properly?
The system is so slow as to be unusable at this point, so any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!
o Do you start a lot of services/daemons on system startup? o Do you hear hard disk activity, even if you donŽt do anything with the system? o What does "xosview" say about system load, memory consumption, swapping activity? o If your system has a "Turbo" switch: Is it in High Speed Mode? o Check your BIOS settings re: system speed on bootup o Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn for unusual entries Good luck!
