----- Original Message ----- From: "Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira" <lioux@uol.com.br> To: <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG> | Before blaming freebsd, either sigbus errors or | signal 11 should be checked for either bad hardware or memory. I don't know why people assume I'm blaming FreeBSD. I had someone else telling me not to blame FreeBSD, too, and believe me I don't. Even though I've only been using FreeBSD for a few months (after years of Linux abuse), I have YET to have a world break (on any of the three machines I'm currently running it on)other than on this glitch or when the comitters declare open season on -STABLE. I was ALREADY assuming broken hardware, and was surprised that the pounding the machine got under Windows didn't reveal any problems. From my original message: --- Since I haven't seen a anyone else's world breaking this way, I'm assuming that this is a hardware problem -- but what kind? Memory? I have a spare Pentium 166 CPU and extra SDRAM I can swap, any clues as to where to start? --- The postscript to this story is I ran memtest86 (after getting the suggestion from here) overnight and it reported errors in my RAM. Replaced with a fresh stick of RAM and all is well. (As an aside, I was checking for info on my board, an Asus TXP4, on USENET and supposedly it will do an unadvertised 75 and 83Mhz FSB. Anyone know how overclockable K6-233 CPUs are?) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
