Maybe it is only a kind of subjective impression or some kind of bad luck, but since last week, after a cvsupdate and buldworld, I have problems with TFTP and diskless clients. The phenomenon is that PXE booting X stations run into a TFTP timeout when trying to boot. I didn't change the configuration, but compiled new kernels and installed the binaries proper on all systems (on the bootserver also). I recompiled the DHCP server and installed it, too. Another problem concerns to buildworld. Sometimes we have on our server a buildworld running an some other climate research programs. I realized that when these programs are running (compiled with Lahey Fortran 95 for Linux) FreeBSD's gcc stops compiling with an error SIG 11. This occurs many times. One time I realized a reset of the server. What are the causes of this failure? Hardware? A memory leak? A bug in FreeBSD? Is there a kind of strategy to come closer to this problem? I'm not very firm in debugging, so I have to ask for that. Thanks, Oliver -- MfG O.
