In my case there was an overheating problem of the processor. When blowing with an external BIG fan onto the processor I could successfully compile my kernel, but not without it... In general I have found PC fans to be genuine c**p. Of the 40 or so machines I have, remarkably many of them have broken fans. Nice fans complainly loudly before going to kingdom come, but many of them just die silently. ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.5-STABLE ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
