EDIT: Resolved, date time wasnt set.

Im trying to patch and compile 2.6.29.4 but it keeps looping around in circles, am i doing something wrong?

Code:

wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.29.4-rt19.gz
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.29.4.tar.gz
 
tar zxf linux-2.6.29.4.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.29.4
zcat ../patch-2.6.29.4-rt19.gz | patch -p1
 
cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
 
make menuconfig
 
*changed some options here and there then saved and exit*
 
make && make install modules_install
 
Loops with the following:

I can imagine that having files in the future and not the correct time stamp would get the compiler confused.

cd into the directory source and execute:
find . -exec touch {} \;

Also do a "make clean" to remove old objects and then reconfigure/recompile the whole thing
