(they work fine in windows xp on a separate disk). to further suspect a hardware issue, i have had little trouble , if any, building world amd64 on a macbook pro, both in vmware and boot camp. I also never had any issue with i386 on this pc, which i managed to build on more than a few occasions. as too bad media, i can't exclude it, but have tried different discs, plus fully csup'ed sources, so i figure that must amount to something. for now i was doing to stick to binary updates to avoid this problem, but was thinking off seeing how world builds without installing this week, and i'll take it from there. thanks again for all the help, at least i know what to avoid for now. thanks
