Hello,

Here is something weird. When I try and do a make build world, the
system locks up after awhile during the build. I then have to hit the
reset button to recover the system. There are no error messages or
anything. Anyone have any ideas as to what possiable cause to this
problem is?

What version of FreeBSD is running?
What version of FreeBSD are you trying to build?
Are you doing a "make buildworld" on a heavily loaded system
or a rather idle system?

If it dies during a buildworld, try updating our sources.

Do "cd /usrc/src; make cleandir && make cleandir"

I'm updating a 4.2-STABLE to 4.2-STABLE. Thing is it just dies during
the buildworld. This time it finished without any problems. A number
of warnings, but that's it.

If you get a Signal 11, then this normally means you have a
hardware problem: marginal memory, memory or cpu
is too hot, or you're overclocking.

The other problem that can occur is that you updated your
source while a change was being made to the source tree.
You sometime get only half of the changed files. This is
why I recommend to update the sources again. Also, the
"make cleandir && make cleandir" really cleans out possibly
rogue .depend and *.o files.

I will keep your advise in mind when I do the next update. I was
begining to think it was some kind of hardware problem. The build
machine is an old K6-2/333 with 128MB Ram which is more than 2 years
old.

Or re-cvsup.

If it fails in the same place every time, it's possibly dodgy CVS source.
If it fails randomly (as my old P133 started doing last week)
something is on the way out (CPU/RAM/mobo).

I found turning off -j4 in the buildworld let me get away with it, but
I know this system's days are numbered now...
