The problem with the build daemons may be a buggy version of nscd. It causes random problems with uid/gid lookups. This is just a guess based on this report: http://www.nabble.com/Boost-build-failure-on-hppa-td23496708.html I had problems with sshd and dpkg on my c3750 until I disabled nscd. It's now running 2.6.30. It has done a full build and check of GCC several times, and appears to be stable with this kernel. This is with a UP kernel. With SMP kernels, there's still a problem with random segementation faults. These cause application core dumps and are normally logged in /var/log/debug. The frequency of these problems vary with kernel version. I believe that it should be possible to setup a reliable hppa build server running a UP kernel. Dave -- J.
