Jerijian) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Re: Trouble with CC compiler when recompiling kernel Date: 31 Aug 1996 00:34:23 GMT Organization: University of California, Los Angeles Lines: 82 Message-ID: <slrn52f24e.114u.jerijian@sleet.seas.ucla.edu> References: <841424914.13664@dejanews.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sleet.seas.ucla.edu X-Newsreader: slrn (0.8.8.4 (BETA) UNIX) If you tried replacing your RAM, have you tried disabling or replacing your L2 cache? You might have a memory problem somewhere. http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11 will give you some clues about GCC crashing randomly and why it's hardware related, except that the notes are Linux-specific and I don't know how well they apply to FreeBSD. --Arthur In article <841424914.13664@dejanews.com>, parag@gsi.gsini.net wrote: >Hi.
