The consensus seems to be that the RAM is suspect. I'm on my second stick of 512 MB 2700 DDRAM for this thing and this one seems to be worse than the first one I got. The first one was a Samsung and this one is some brand I've never heard of (forgot the name, too lazy to crack the case -again- and look). I have a P-IV 2.40 GHz processor on a VIA P4B 400 Mainboard. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what brand is a good one to go along with VIA Mainboards? My Google searches brought up the possibility that VIA mainboards tend to be rather picky when it comes to RAM. Though I'm not sure if RAM is my problem because I'm not getting Sig 11 errors. I keep getting extremely consistent internal compiler errors pretty much whenever I try to build *anything*. I've tried to buildkernel about 16 times today and each time I get stuck here (or very near here): /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic79xx.c: In function `ahd_run_data_fifo': /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic79xx.c:787: error: unrecognizable insn: (insn 1427 1426 1433 48 0x2865be18 (parallel [ (set (reg/v:QI 4 sil [363]) (asm_operands/v:QI ("inb %%dx,%0") ("=a") 0 [ (reg/v:SI 1 edx [361]) ] [ (asm_input:SI ("d")) ] ("machine/cpufunc.h") 197)) (clobber (reg:QI 19 dirflag)) (clobber (reg:QI 18 fpsr)) (clobber (reg:QI 17 flags)) ]) -1 (insn_list 1422 (nil)) (nil)) /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic79xx.c:787: internal compiler error: in reload_cse_simplify_operands, at reload1.c:8345 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

Same spot every time. No matter what I do to the configuration (this one was attempting to just build GENERIC with no fancy CPU optimizations and no fancy CFLAGS). It's not just the compiler because I did a fresh install last week of a Sept. 8th Snapshot of current. I'm also *trying* to add options DISABLE_PSE and options DISABLE_PG_G to my kernel, but I can't build a new kernel no matter what I do. I've also fiddled with *all* of the BIOS settings having to do with RAM and none of them made a whit of difference. In case it helps, my dmesg is attached. Any and all suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
