the amd64 documentation warns about PREEMPT in the kernel. (is this still a valid suggestion?)

to discover the real reason behind my large compile-system-lockup I am trying

CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=n

NForce4/X2 3800+

what do you all use for your PREEMPT kernel options?

Code:
$ zgrep PREEMPT /usr/src/linux/.config
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y


and everything seems to be running just fine

Code:
$ zgrep PREEMPT /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL is not set

and everything runs smooth as silk on my amd64 system even during massive disk usage such as backing up 17 Gigs to a firewire drive.
