Last week I installed FBSD 2.2.7 on an IBM ThinkPad 365. I've got it running off-site and I'm logged in, compiling a port and suddenly every process seg faults, the build fails, and I'm unable to run anything except built-ins and a few commands like cat and ls from the shell. I've cat'd /var/log/messages and all it reports is that each program signal 11'd. As it turns out, I was trying to run 'configure' for ssh and it was trying some assembly language optimizations just when everything went kaplooey. What could be going on? Should I be looking anywhere else for diagnostics? This machine was running fine for about a week with httpd on it. (In fact httpd continued running OK -- but no new processes can start up, including any new shells!) After rebooting, everything seems OK, and re-running configure worked, but this is very worrisome. I urged my group to use FBSD, so my reputation is a bit on the line here. Your help would be appreciated. thanks, David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
