Same error, I get "program cc1 got fatal signal 4" when I try to compile something large.. like say, buildworld or a new kernel. I've been told this means its a hardware problem, which is why I replaced my CPU/RAM. Anywho, if I turn off internal caching in the BIOS the system boots fine and I can compile without problems.. even though it takes about 6 hours longer to buildworld. I've talked to other people who have AMD 3D-Now's and it seems they have the same problem in linux. Odd. Is there a bug in those AMD's? Is there no 'good' workaround? Is the kernel reading the size of the cache wrong or what? Any info would be helpful. thanks Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
