Hi, Another "me too". I've noticed that gcc often fails with a signal 11 on my athlon smp system when I'm about half way through making world. It fails consistently when I make world like so: bash# nohup make world 2>&1 & But not when I make world like this: bash# make world There have been a few times when the whole system wedged as well. I'm using an ata disk and fxp network card, 4.6 release ... Eddie. Pete French wrote: > > > You have two drivers who have to react to the same IRQ, so maybe its some > > sort of race condition...
