I compiled it as you said and it took 13 hours to recompile the new kernel.
Now it does recognize 512MB of RAM but still processing everything dead
slow.
It took me close to 25min to compile tcsh-6.09.00, this is not a joke!

Maybe this can help?

Too slow to compile? That is a joke.
Try it again.

compile the kernel with MAXMEM.
