Paulius, I had the exact same problem less than a week ago. The solution was the edit my kernel build configuration file and add the following two lines: options DISABLE_PSE options DISABLE_PG_G This changes the VM subsystem so that it uses 4 kB pages instead of the default 4 MB pages. There is a bug in some hardware that only shows up under heavy CPU & memory loading, such as a buildworld incurs. Someone had told me that there is a 10% - 15% performance penalty from doing this, but I don't run the system hard enough to be able to notice. -- Paul A.

You are right, it's CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz (1799.81-MHz 686-class CPU) real memory = 527695872 (503 MB) on Intel 845G motherboard and in make.conf I have CPUTYPE and other compile time options commented out (because some time ago I was unable to build mozilla) sometimes I get Signal 10...
