| Hello, Now pretty sure 2.2.10 does not have the same problem as 2.4.5 After about 18 hours of 2.2.10 doing the suggested make loop, and another 3 hours of -j 10, no problem evident. 2.4.5 is another story. It does seem to depend on what value is given to make -j. At small -j, upto 4 it appears fine after limited tests. -j >5 has trouble, reporting illegal instruction. What might be relevant is that it is predictable. At -j 6 it failed several times at the same stage of compiling - in the same file. Little swap space is used and there is about 2 meg of free mem still available according to /proc/meminfo but that might not be right as I can't be sure I'm seeing free mem at the instant it fails. Stll have to try minimum 2.4.5 with removed hardware. What can I do, what tools can assist ? ken. |
