Yes, but that's not what happened to me. I got three failures at the same step with the same error message. > I had the same problem the first time I tried to buildworld.

Yes, I had the 'classic' symptoms, and I am convinced that the 'weak link' is my disk drive - it was thrashing like mad and _very_ hot to the touch. I opened up the box and got reliable builds. (A couple of fans are sitting on the frame awaiting installation.) This doesn't have the same profile, and at least a few others have the same dump at the same line. Looks like a different problem. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
