compiler version.

[Ken T. <ke...@we...>]

What's the recommended compiler for APUS ?  I use gcc version 2.95.2.

Since I installed helix (Ximian) gnome about 12 months ago, X has been
unstable under 2.2.10 and 2.4.?.

It runs for a while, if I can get it to start without locking up my
computer that is, and will eventually crash, usually with some interrupt
related panic :

 Kernel panic: Exception in kernel pc c00a4fec signal 4 
 Kernel panic: kernel access of bad area pc c0037330 lr c00373cc address  F80B48 tsk X/555

Another two seen a few times are :

 Page fault in interrupt handler
 Floating point in kernel

The back trace usually shows the crash occured during interrupt handling.

KDE used to be OK IIRC, running without X is rock solid.

I suppose all this suggests the problem is with gnome and not with
kernel/compiler combination.

Anyone running gnome without any problem or what are you using ?

Ken.
