Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi-- I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE on a new desktop machine, and I've been having trouble lately. Here's my hardware setup: ABit BH6 motherboard Celeron 300A, overclocked to 450 64MB SDRAM (PC100) 5GB IDE hard disk 3com 3C509B ethernet card Sound Blaster AWE64 ISA Matrox Millennium G200 Now, I don't know why it's doing this, and lord knows I've tried to figure it out... but sometimes, during a compile, the machine will just hang. No more mouse movement, no keyboard input, no activity in any screens, no network response. The only thing I can do is a hard reset. Nothing ever gets logged to /var/log/anything. It's all very sudden and without warning. Sometimes, my "make" processes will die unexpectedly with a "gcc caught signal 11" error. I suspect that may be related, though I can generally just "make" again and it will resume without trouble. But usually, that's a sign that it will out-and-out hang in a few minutes. The bizarre thing is that this only seems to happen when I'm compiling. It happened once before when I was doing a large NFS transfer and playing an MP3 audio file at the same time, but every other time (~15 now) it was at some random point in a make. Does anyone know of a way I can narrow down my options for figuring out what this problem might be? I've tried isolating it to NFS and to my Sound Blaster, since this only started after I enabled SB support in my kernel and did some NFS mounts (on the same day); but it's crashed now with neither of those enabled, so I'm back to square one. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated... :) Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
