hi all

i am having trouble trying to cvsup a 5_1-RELEASE machine

i'm at the 'cd /usr/src/ make buildworld' stage. i can't run 'make buildwor=
ld'
successfully on this machine. i'm able to on my other 5_1-RELEASE machine
(although it's different hardware...). the buildworld seems to fail at
different points randomly. for ex., the most current kernel core dump/error=
 i
get when trying to complete this operation is

Illegal instruction(core dumped)
****Error code 132

stop in /usr/src/usr.bin/objformat
***Error code 1
stop in /usr/src/usr.bin.
***Error code 1...

Aug 28 12:30:39 host kernel : pid 61508 (make), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (=
core
+dumped)

my hardware:

dell optiplex gx250 p4 2.4 ghz
500 mhz ram

FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p2 #1

-i was advised that problems like these most often are a result of bad ram.=
 i ran memtest on this machine, it found no errors. i ran dell hardware dia=
gnostics on this machine, also found no errors. i pull each stick of ram se=
parately - the buildworld problem reappeared no matter which stick of ram i=
s in the machine, or which ram slot on the motherboard it's plugged into.

one thing to note is that, before i wiped this machine and reinstalled 5_1,=
 this machine cvsupped flawlessly for a year as a 4x-RELEASE machine, with =
the same ram.

i'm hoping that there's something else i can try before wiping/reinstalling=
 5_1. i'm not even sure if reinstalling will fix the problem.=20

if anyone has any words of advice, i'd appreciate it

thanks
