Otherwise, the system will happily run for hours, being idle or it can e.g. re-compile the FBSD 3.4 / 3.2 kernel without a hitch. Hardware: Motherboard: Gigabyte BX2000 (this one is supposed to be on the top of the list in the various Web-sites and forums). Have tried several versions v1.7, v1.8 (15-Dep-99) and v.F2 (21-Dec-99) of its Award BIOS. Have tried disabling Power Management from the BIOS and also tried various combinations (PM with APM enabled/disabled etc), without any success. Practically everything else on the system is irrelevant: The motherboard under test is stripped-down and has on it: 128 MB RAM ECC (have stress-tested it for days a month ago) AHA2940U2W (also tried an AHA2940UW, new UW/U2W SCSI cables) AGP S3 VGA IBM 309170 LVD SCSI, have tried with various disks/cables etc IBM 4.3 GB SCSI UW HD Software: Clean standard install of FBSD 3.4 with GENERIC kernel (no APM support). Btw, this motherboard exhibits the same behaviour under FBSD 3.2. It could be a bug of the motherboard not honoring the BIOS settings about disabling APM and Power Management in general, but why does it seem to only happen with "make world" ? Any comments will be appreciated. KP. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
