A few minutes, even on a Celeron 433MHz, is all it should take. Any longer 
than five minutes, and there is something seriously wrong.

Oh great, a package to add to the list for BDI-4.40, fortunately, not a huge 
package, but 200K that could have been used for something else...

Running dmesg should provide some clues as to why errors occurred loading 
modules.. And when the first module fails to load, the rest will generate 
similar errors...

emc2 is, at best, experimental and a long way from being stable enough to use 
in a production environment (despite what some of the developers might say). 
All I can do is provide the packages required to compile and run emc2, 
occasionally checking to see that it _will_ compile.. Beyond that, bugs, 
crashes, and other nasties, I'll have to point you to 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6744&atid=106744 and suggest filing 
a bug report with as much detail as possible - Don't be afraid to paste the 
entire output of dmesg, it just might provide some clue as to what went 
wrong.
