CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (501.14-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12
  Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX>
  AMD Features=0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow!>
RAM: SDRAM 64MB
DRIVE: 1 6GB SCSI

Ok, I've replaced my CPU and ram. Same error, I get "program cc1 got fatal
signal 4" when I try to compile something large.. like say, buildworld or a
new kernel. I've been told this means its a hardware problem, which is why I
replaced my CPU/RAM. Anywho, if I turn off internal caching in the BIOS the
system boots fine and I can compile without problems.. even though it takes
about 6 hours longer to buildworld. I've talked to other people who have AMD
3D-Now's and it seems they have the same problem in linux. Odd. Is there a
bug in those AMD's? Is there no 'good' workaround? Is the kernel reading the
size of the cache wrong or what? Any info would be helpful.

thanks
Mike
