I tried again to compile the kernel this time I've written down the
error:


Avail Memory = ...
Changing APIC IO for IO APIC #0 from 0 to 2 on chip
Changing APIC IO for IO APIC #1 from 0 to 3 on chip
Changing APIC IO for IO APIC #2 from 0 to 4 on chip
Changing APIC IO for IO APIC #3 from 0 to 5 on chip
Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #1
Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #2
Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #3


and that is where it freezes. 

Any help would be appreciated.
