Ok, I did *5* things and one of them must be the culprit, place your bets! ;-) 1) used gcc 3.3.2-7mdk instead of 3.4.1-0.3mdk 2) enabled regparm 3) enabled preempt 4) -fomit_frame_pointer (config_frame_pointer=no) 5) changed cpu from i586 to C3-2 (i686) The stock devel RPM kernel seems to work wonderfully, I'm just a few compiles away... Many Thanks!
