These = are often due to faulty memory or hardware. I used to get these signals = when compiling big stuff on my older box, which turned out to have = faulty RAM. You can also get them when your CPU is overclocked and = unstable. I was getting these signals at random stages during my build = of the JDK 1.4, and I tracked down the problem to Ultra DMA being = enabled for my hard drive. It seems the old IDE controller on this old = motherboard didn't like UDMA, as per syslog (which I found out much = later, after trying all sorts of stuff). Reverting the hard drive to = WDMA2 fixed the problem. By the way, have you tried compiling the kernel? This is often a good = way to check your system's stability. If you get these signals there as = well, it's extremely likely that the culprit is your hardware. Hope this helps you in some way.

Hi - I've got a problem installing the JDK on FreeBSD 4.8 (see "/usr/ports/java/jdk13 - make all dumps - any suggestions ?" on the FreeBSD Questions list for details) and as I don't know how to fix I was thinking that I might completely uninstall all Java related stuff and start again. So far I have obtained the Linux JDK, the sources for the JDK and the FreeBSD patchset for the JDK and done a 'make install'. In fact I've = done a make install several times as the process fell over because certain dependencies weren't met and so I fixed those and restarted. I've now = got to a point in the make where it just says 'illegal instruction'. So my question is what's the best way to clean every trace of Java from the box so I can start again and (maybe) get further this time ? thanks richard shea
