But it seems your machine is completely broken both with 2.4.10 and 2.4.1[12]. A kernel compile on such hardware that lasts 40 minutes is absolutely unusual. My PC is a 166 Pentium (even no MMX), 64 MB RAM, and a hard disk that bonnie reports having a maximun R/W performance of only 4 MB/s. With this hardware, and kernel 2.4.11, a compilation of kernel 2.4.12 + some modules (100 in total), also running icewm, X 4.1, Mozilla, Xchat, gkrellm, xawtv, several rxvt's and more, total compilation time for kernel + modules (make dep clean bzImage modules) is 65 minutes. And, in the middle of the compilation, cron.daily was run. So maybe there is a problem with kernel 2.4.1[12] on your setup, but it seems that also your base hardware is not working as it should.
