It generates hardware errors (10 and 11) when attempting to make world while using default (or even conservative) BIOS settings. The power supply was from PC Power & Cooling, so no problem there. The only way I could get through an entire buildworld was to turn off every go-fast option I could in the BIOS, including the L2 cache. I was able to get away with turning back on the RAM banking, but that was it. Feh. I won't be buying any more FICs if I can help it. On a second PA-2013 I bought, I can turn on a few more go-fast options, but it's still mighty conservative. --Dwight Tuinstra tuinstra@clarkson.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
