The Cyrix 686 chips are definately 486-class. When I built a kernel for a system with a Cyrix 6x86-P166+ CPU, it required i486 in the config file, not 586. I made the same mistake as Bob, and had a similar problem. Also, the last I knew, Cyrix chips could not build world reliably. It seems that GCC did something that caused two separate P166+ CPUs to crash with a signal error at the same point in the build, every time. And no, it wasn't bad memory or anything else. It was definately GCC. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Warner Losh Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 1:00 PM To: Virtual Bob Cc: FreeBSD-STABLE list Subject: Re: IBM/Cyrix 6x86 133(PR166) In message <Pine.BSF.4.32.0102161819040.1533-100000@kristen.shadowdale.net> Virtual Bob writes: : By the way, is it possible to compile for one machine with another : machine? I tried to compile on my quickest machine and transfer /usr/obj : tree to the target (slow) machine. The make installworld sure complained a : lot. Did I miss anything else other than /usr/obj? Yes. I do it all the time. But you must have the same /etc/make.conf on both systems. warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
