I don't know what information might be needed by anyone helping me deal with this problem, but here's a list of what I _believe_ is relevant: - distribution: FreeBSD 4.4 (downloaded iso and burned) - picked 'X Developer' option, then ripped out XFree86 3.3.6 and installed 4.1.0 - kernel config file based on LINT - make, gcc, etc. all from this distribution - kernel modules reported by kldstat at time of compile: kernel linux.ko agp.ko tdfx.ko mga.ko r128.ko radeon.ko gamma.ko - other running processes: junkbuster vmdaemon bufdaemon syncer adjkerntz -i syslogd -s portmap mountd -r nfsd (master + 4 servers) rpc.statd nfsiod -n 4 (4 times) inetd -wW cron sshd moused httpd (6 times) getty ttyvX (7 times) lpd - running a bash shell Hardware: Pentium MMX 256mb PC133 RAM (on a PC100 bus) 5400 rpm Quantum ATA hd 512 mb swap space Creative Labs Voodoo Banshee This is a (relatively) fresh install of FreeBSD 4.4 although I spent almost a week buggering around with Glide3, glut, glu, TDFX drivers and Mesa in an attempt to get direct rendering working for the Banshee. The only extra header files I installed were in /usr/include and /usr/X11R6/include (headers for glut, glu, etc. etc.) As far as I know, no strange (or updated) header files found their way into the /usr/src/sys/ tree. What happens is, part way through compiling the kernel, the computer spontaneously resets and starts a POST. If, after the reboot is finished, I restart 'make', it picks up where it left off, then spontaneously resets again after a while. I wasn't keeping a very close eye on it, but if that's an issue, I'll gladly do it again to see where it bombs. I originally thought it might be XFree86 4.1.0 causing the problem, but I tried starting the compile from tty1 and got the same results. I've compiled other things (XFree86 4.1.0 as well as the above-mentioned ports) without having this happen.
