I switched my memory chips around and found that one seems to cause more instability, and removing it made me be able to run that stupid app "ubench". ;-) Now I can build several ports in a row without hanging, but I do still get the odd freeze sometimes. Since memtest86 wont work (on my) A64, is there something else I can do to stress my memory chips? Which bench/whatever for FBSD would you recommend to me so I know when/if I have a stable setup? I got more or less all available kernel errors, I started listing them on a postit, from a "GPF" to "freeing membuf twice" but when I had some 10 or so different error messages, I realised it couldn't be the code or so and went to my hardware. Thanks for you help though. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAJ0dyKWyDo3z7ubcRAklyAJ9TQUkUzuQmcZeqxVVVvq+xLtdEfACff5mm Qy1nshfEFqwfojPYvRTyS4g= =scS5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
