Hello...
I continue to get failures and/or coredumps while attempting
"make world" or "make buildworld" on a system installed from the
3.2 CDs & cvsup'ed to RELENG_3.
These occur at seemingly random times/places in the process.
I've tried it about 2 dozen times now, & with no success.
CVSUP'ing went fine. (I kept the log.)
I believe I could almost quote the gcc-sig11 faq chapter & verse... :/
Kernel building seems to work ok, but sometimes it, too, bombs
out. I've had this problem with Linux, too, but not lately.
(Slackware 4.0 with kernel 2.2.10 & previous...)
I think I may have eliminated RAM as the problem, as I've tried
varying configurations & amounts & continue to have the problem.
(Interesting to see how it works on a RAM-constrained system...)
System hardware is as follows:
American Megatrends (AMI) Atlas PCI-II mainboard (Series 727)
(uses SiS 55xx-series chipset, I think... 5511?)
Pentium 133 (P54C)
32mb ram (with parity)
Number 9 Motion 771 2mb PCI video (S3-968)
DPT PCI SCSI HBA (I forget the model #) with 4mb ecc cache.
Seagate ST34573LW in SE mode
Seagate ST32550W
Plextor PX-32CS SCSI CD-ROM with 1.02 firmware
There appears to be nothing in the BIOS setup relating to memory
waitstates, etc.; I've tried changing the memory "speed" with no
change in results...
FBSD has rebooted my system a couple of times, too, & I can't so
far trace it... I don't recall Linux ever having done that.
I've run Linux for a few years now & various other *ix before
that. I've also run BSDI & more recently getting more "serious"
with FBSD.
System board manufacturer is no help.
Have I any options besides replacing this mainboard?
