It would be interesting to know what it > is. I didn't checked further at that time. The config that I have been using is based on James' ion config, plus the defaults from running make oldconfig. I actually was running 2.6.28 before I started experimenting yesterday. It had run about three days building gcc without major problems. As noted by Grant, there is usually one unexplained segv (usually in make or bash), then the system seems to run reasonably well for an extended period. If bash segvs, the system goes into an infinite loop of segvs due to the way it handles signals, and the fact that the kernel restarts the faulting instruction. This fills the root file system with log messages... I'm running a hacked version of bash which exits immediately to avoid this problem. Dave -- J.
