Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1993 13:24:05 GMT Lines: 16 Hi all, I've just bought a new motherboard (486/40 8M 256k write-back cache). When running a compile job (compiling the kernel for instance) I get random segmentation faults from the compiler. If I turn off the external cache using setup, everything works fine. No amount of fiddling with wait states and cache cycles seems to help while the cache is on. The exact same NetBSD installation used to work fine with my old 386/25 motherboard. I thought I'd consult the group before I send the board back. Does anyone have a clue as to what might cause this? Thanks in advance, Simon
