(it happens also on ATA) Sorry for the "me too" but...well...me too. I don't get very far through *any* build process before I get Signal 4 errors. I also don't have any optimizations set in /etc/make.conf. The machine that is giving me problems also has a PIV (1.6 GHz) processor. Could this issue be specific to Pentium IV's (I know it's a long shot...)? > We have these boards running fine here. And now to the strange part. > It does not happen with STABLE. Again, ditto. This does not happen to me with -STABLE either. > This let's me beleave that this is a CURRENT problem. I saw some other folks reporting that they were seeing the same thing on their machines and I was just wondering: could those machines also be P-IV's? Or maybe there is another common thread...? I started with DP1 and have since been able to update my sources and build/installworld successfully but only through sheer persistence. The problem still exists. -Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
