Every thing works fine apart from one thing....... Whenever I do 'make' either to build a port or rebuid the kernal, at some point through compilation the machine will crash with something like this message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernal mode fault virtual address = 0x8:573c418 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf01ba1f7 stack pointer = 0x10:0xefbff9fc frame pointer = 0x10:0xefbffa00 code segment = base 0x0, linit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres1, def 321, gran 1 processor eflags = interupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current process = 467(ccl) interupt mask = panic: page fault syncing disks...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I get the impression that its trying to reboot, but it dosn't, at this point I have to do a hard reboot. It dosn't happen every time (I managed to port xemacs on the fifth attempt) and its never at the same point, but its only when I run 'make'. As you can imagine this is ***really*** annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening or (preferably) how to correct the problem? My system: Pentium 100, 1GB HD (DOS) 4GB HD (2GB DOS/ 1GB FreeBSD/ rest unused) 40MB RAM cheers elmo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
