I was having trouble with a machine (Pentium Pro 200, 32 M RAM, 2.5Gig IDE) that would suddenly hang, requiring me to flick the on/off switch to recover. I decided to "downgrade" it from -current to see if it would improve, and had a "fun" time doing it. Never managed a clean "make world". I had to step through the different targets in make and skip the "make lib-tools" where it invariably hangs (/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc or thereabouts). I figure I'm half there, I managed to get a 2.2 kernel going ok, and the machine is holding. Are there any diagnostics tools I should be running to track what's wrong? It could, of course, be a hardware problem, but I want to hear from some experts before I give up and start from scratch. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
