Makepkg stops during kernel build

Question

I'm building a kernel using the PKGBUILD from here, vanilla 2.6.10 source, and the mm3 patch. I've selected the "make oldconfig" method, and copied in the config from my current kernel. When I run makepkg, I get the sources downloaded, the patching done, and "make oldconfig" done - and then it just stops. I've left it for up to two hours and nothing further happens. The box isn't frozen, just the process - I can Ctrl-C to stop it.
I've also tried the mm2 and ck7 patches, in case mm3 was the problem - still nothing. I compiled kernels on the same box last week and over the weekend with no problems.
Anyone know what's going on here?

Answer 1

no i'm not sure
but if you need to build a mm-kernel, have a look here:
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … cvs-markup
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … ag=CURRENT
respectively in ABS under extra/kernels/kernel26mm
i know it is chaotic, but it works in most situations for the mm-kernel
if you don't need the rc patches, simply leave the rcver empty
good luck
