During the past several days, it was more usual than not to get a lockup during "make -j8 buildworld" on my SMP (2x886 MHz PIII) machine. This morning, I decided to give it a try, and had no problems: freebeast(5.3)[1] uname -a FreeBSD freebeast.catwhisker.org 5.3-ALPHA FreeBSD 5.3-ALPHA #56: Fri Aug 20 07:26:27 PDT 2004 root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S3/obj/usr/src/sys/FREEBEAST i386 freebeast(5.3)[2] Since the symptom was rather erractic, I'm unprepared to say the the problem is actually fixed -- and note that the machine was running yesterday's kernel when I built today's -- but it certainly feels like progress. :-) [And I'm reasonably confident that this is not a hardware issue; the same machine also tracks RELENG_4 on a daily basis, and the "make buildworld" also uses -j8 for RELENG_4.] Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org Evidence of curmudgeonliness: becoming irritated with the usage of the word "speed" in contexts referring to quantification of network performance, as opposed to "bandwidth" or "latency."
