Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG X-To-Unsubscribe: mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org "unsubscribe current" After a recent cvsup back to dec 23 (the "last stable current" before John's recent fixes to the problems of early January), my problems with spurious sig-11s remained - the last time I ran this era kernel everything was fine. So basically this is what has happened to my system in the past month or so: pre-dec 23, everything fine. post-dec 23, imake SIGBUSes, etc cvsupped back to dec 23, problems solved mailing list indicated -current problems may be fixed, I cvsup back to latest tree, suffer spontaneous coredumps, compilation failures, etc. cvsup back to dec 23, problems remain. What I didnt mention earlier (deliberately - to avoid charges of "ah, well, thats /obviously/ your problem then" - I only spoke up after others had reported the same phenomenon :) was that I was running an overclocked P120 at 133. At about the time I cvsupped back to the latest tree, we were going through the height of summer (and still are, for that matter :) I'm guessing the poor motherboard didnt like living in temperatures of 30C as it sometimes is here in my non-airconditioned computer room :/ (I hadnt had any problems at all in the months before summer when I was running at this speed). I dropped back to 120, and the dec 23 sources compiled fine (did a complete make world; before it couldnt even finish compiling gcc). I'm now in the process of make worlding the latest source tree, but I suspect my problems might be fixed for now. John: sorry to have caused any unnecessary frustration - I guess you can cross this data point off your list. Out of interest, I wonder if any of the other problem systems were overclocked and/or in the southern hemisphere? :-) Kris WOWBO /\ . Through the darkness of future past, /\ .
