To: hackers@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I'm running FreebSD 3.3 on a AMD-K6 box thats totally SCSI. The controller is Adaptec 2940 and the drive in question is a 40MB/sec IBM 9GB (SCSI 3?).. In the process of attempting to make a new kernel I follow the usual procedure. %cd /sys/i386/conf/ %config KERNEL %cd ../../compile/KERNEL %make depend Everything to this point completes and reports no errors. %make This is where I start to get failures. The compiler will stop with code 1 and will claim that the reason is a single character error in the source code. A typical example would be the word "struct" spelt "strwct". Clearly there is a problem which I doubt is the source code. To work around this I just repeat the make command again and again until the job is done. then I install the kernel and reboot sucessfully. Any ideas? I'm tempted to think it's some kind of a problem with the drive, but I haven't had any real hard failures. The /etc/make.conf has -O2 optimization for the kernel. Ta!
