Is the compiler using /tmp and /tmp is in root partition? Maybe try having a seperate partition for /tmp, might keep root partition from getting trashed? > Same hardware with SATA works perfect Maybe try root partition on SATA, everything else on SCSI and see what happens. If the system supports a RS-232 console, you could capture panic message that way. Or aim a video camera at the screen.
