For what it's worth, I'm seeing similar problems on a laptop with Mobile Pentium IV processor, only when doing large compiles. They started after a build/installworld after a cvsup on 20 September. Swapping memory out had no effect. (The BIOS has no memory timing options that I could find.) (The problem was partially masked by the cc/cpp0 problem that also showed up in that cvsup, but which has been since resolved; I got around that one by building the new world with gcc 3.1 from ports and then rebuilding with the base cc ASAP after the installworld.) -- brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
