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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
