I usually try buildworld with '-j16' to stress the system, I got the crash after a few hours of buildworld. Anyway I will update to the latest trunk, remove my local changes and see if I get the same issue. If I can get it to crash consistently on my setup, I'll do some more work on this. > I am going to consider RMI stable at this point (unless JC cannot > reproduce my results).. and now move on to my to-do list: > > - SMP (Neel has a great start here so hopefully we can use > =A0 =A0 =A0 some of his great work and jump RMI to at least 8 core > =A0 =A0 =A0 pretty quickly ..

Any plan of doing n32? n32 with 64-bit physical address support may be a better suited base configuration for XLR than o32, because we can use all of the memory and the 64 bit support, without having to go full 64-bit. > So basically I am going to move on and see if I can break it now that > I have it stable..
