Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 09:27:11 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My buildworld is failing, often in the same places, and always with a signal 11, which I think is a segmentation violation (SIGSEGV). When I first attempted buildworld it died right away. I rebooted the machine and it got further, but died again with the same error. Subsequent attempts died early; reboot and it dies later. I've recently moved this system to an Asus TXP4 motherboard with an AMD K6-233 CPU and a single 128MB stick of PC100 SDRAM. No overclocking or other hardware hackery is being used. The same machine had been running (blush) Windows 2000 since March with little or no problems -- no problem with lockups, blue screens, etc. The FreeBSD install I'm using had previously been running on a generic Dell Pentium 200 and lived through a half-dozen buildworlds without breaking. 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? FWIW, I cvsup'd numerous times throughout 16-July, in case I caught things during a commit. -- swb@grasslake.net Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
