HELP signal 11 from gcc, crashes, hangs

Post by John Milt » Fri, 23 Feb 1996 04:00:00



I have two systems:

1. DX/33,    8M, 200M IDE, 100M IDE,            Trident ISA VGA, NE-2000 clone
2. DX/2-66, 32M, 1022M Caviar 31200 on ISA IDE, Cirrus 5428 VGA, NE-2000 clone

Both machines have:
Slackware 3.0 w/Linux 1.3.66, gcc272-no-sr-bug.lbin.tgz from tsx-11

Machine 1. just plain works, NFS install worked fine. I've been building
  kernels on this machine for testing on Machine 2.

Machine 2. all kinds of trouble: (same with 1.2.13, 1.3.66extide, 1.3.66oldide)
Get weird "program cc1 got fatal signal 11" trying to re-compile 1.3.66
Crashed twice during an NFS re-install
Tried with New extended IDE driver as IDE driver and old IDE driver.
The kernel is absolute minmum driver config with TCP/IP
When I do "ps -ax" it works, but "ps -aux" produces "Floating point exception"
Many times "signal 11" produces a "panic" sort of output on the console, but
  the machine is still running.
Swapped CPUs with an identicle machine
The processors are genuine Intel DX-2/66 (fairly old)
The driver message from the old IDE driver is:

hda: WDC AC31200F, 1222MB w/64KB Cache, CHS=2484/16/63, MaxMult=16

Now for the weird part. When I move the Caviar drive to machine 1, I get the
same problems.

I'm leaning towards some problem with the WDC Caviar drive. I never get
ANY drive related error messages on the console or /var/adm/messages.
This drive works fine under Windows 95.

I want to ask the boss to get a Maxtor 1.6G (71626A/AP) to replace the
WDC Caviar (we just got one for another machine), but not if I'm just
going to run into the same problems all over again.

Please e-mail.

Thanks,
John

1. GCC and the 'signal 11' problem, HELP!

   I seek clarification concerning the "internal compiler error" problem
I have been plagued with ever since starting out with GCC 2.1.
  The error (from memory) goes something like this :
   ...
   <Register dump>
   ...
   Internal compiler error. cc1 got signal 11

  The compiler will mostly bomb out with the above message when compiling
from a Makefile.
  It may not reliably bomb out on any particular source file,
however sometimes it will get "stuck" on a file.
  The offending file will sometimes get through compiling by re-running the
makefile, although often typing the compile command line manualy is necessary.
  Failures are more likely to occur after Linux has been worked heavily,
which suggests the problem is related to memory fragmention.

  The above points are valid with linux version .95a .96 and .96a
and with GCC 2.1-2.12b (excludeing 2 I skipped).

  My machine configuration is :
   386DX with ETEQ chipset (tiawanese clone)
   8Mb memory
   64k cache
   Tsenglab 4000 video
   Adaptec 1542B SCSI adaptor
   MFM HD controler

  The fact that only a few people have reported the problem makes it sound
like a hardware problem however I have read in gnu.gcc.help that people using
machines other than PC's have seen this error.
  Can anyone say something authoritive on this problem (hlu ?).

  I have had other possibly related problems with 2.12b. The assembly stage
will sometimes read garbage characters from somewhere (the file generated
from cc1?) and sometimes the compiler will bomb out with "segmention fault".
This didn't happen with previon versions.
