Well, I'm back... Put the AMD K6-2/550 on a ATX board (Shuttle HOT-597), and the 128MB memory.

This power supply supposedly has enough beef to run the K6.

Still have a problem with make world.

HOWEVER, here is the strange part, if I turn SOFTUPDATES on, we can make worlds all day long with out an error.

Anyone got a good explanation for this?

Also, the SCSI controller is a AHA-2940, with 1.11 firmware, if that makes a difference.

Just a quick question - *exactly* what was the symptoms of your problem?

ive just turned a K6-2 300 into a BSD box, and make world fails with SIG's 10, 11 and 12 randomly. I know its not the memory - i have been thrashing that memory for 12 mths now - never skipped a beat.

You mean it never discovered a problem? What software were you running?

The CPU / Motherboard / Memory used to run BSD in the 2.2.8 - 3.2 days no problems. Now - no luck :( - i get random panics, SIG 10's to 12's and core dumps - unfortunately - i have no idea how to debug them :(

If they're hardware related, there's probably not much to see except that things will be different each time.

I suspect that a large number of crashes on Microsoft machines are in fact due to flaky hardware. Despite my low opinion of Microsoft, I have not had an unexpected crash of a Microsoft system in years (it helps, of course, if you don't use them much :-).
