Hi  FreeBSD gurus...  I was trying to compile MYKERNEL, Everything went 
fine until I typed "make", the machine was running for a while but it 
suddenly stopped with the following message: 
"Memory fault - cored dumped
*** Error code 139
Stop

When I tried again I received another message:
"Segentation fault: core dumped"
Can anybody help? Please?
It makes me believe that I have a memory problem (duh...!!) but is it the 
RAM, or the cache, or what?
This is a brand new system, 120 Mhz, 16 Mb RAM, Diamond Video Card, ATAPI 
CD ROM (mitsumi) and the computer runs ok otherwise...
Please respond by e-mail if at all possible.
Thanks, 
\
Carlos
