But while a > make buildworld the machine restarts. The second time you attempted to buildworld, did it reboot in exactly the same place? It is very common for buildworld to show up general system stability problems since it stresses systems to an extent that they often don't see in normal use. This would be characterised by random reboots and signal 11 errors. Possible problems include overheating of components, faulty memory and a million other things. ;-) Questions about building code from the stable branch are usually best sent to stable@freebsd.org - since that is where most stable users hang out.
