We saw a similar problem at the quake-fest where it starts compiling 
main.c (one of the first files compiled). The problem was the machine 
had trouble identifying itself.

eg: hostname -> IP number -> hostname was broken.

You might need to "make zImage |tee log.txt" (I wonder how many 
people use tee?) and post the last 20 lines.
