Subject:   Xserve G4 stability (random processes crashing)
Message-ID:  <40B1BEB2-6620-4188-BB71-F8B5ED4AA234@dragondata.com>

Thanks to some help, we've got 8.0-STABLE running on several Xserve G4 =
boxes now, in both UP and SMP configurations.

However, all of them are showing weird stability problems. Running OS X =
Server, they were completely stable for years doing pretty hard work =
(video encoding) with no errors. They all pass Apple's hardware burn-in, =
too. But, doing a "buildworld" or "buildkernel" will result in random =
segfaults, invalid .o files being created, or ICEs that go away after =
immediately retrying. (i.e. it doesn't appear to be data from the disks =
being cached incorrectly, I don't have to force a re-read to fix) Pure =
CPU tasks (like memtester from ports) work fine for days.=20

Are there any known issues with 8.0 on an XServe G4?
