OK - I downloaded and ran memtest 3.0 for 11 passes. Zero errors.> If I run make modules again right after this, ftape compiles, but then > it segfaults AGAIN compiling hycapi: > Eventually, if you run make modules repeatedly, everything will > compile. Could this be a problem with GCC? No. That is an indication of unstable hardware, bad RAM chips for instance, an overclocked CPU, or cheap RAM chips and a cheap mainboard that don't work together at full throttle. Try http://www.memtest86.com/ but even that is not bullet-proof, since other parts of your hardware can be the cause of instability.
This is a new motherboard with new RAM and new processor. It's a 2.53Ghz Pentium 4 on an Asus P4S8X motherboard with 1GB DDR RAM. I've had it running for a little over a month. Could the fact that I have exactly 1GB of RAM be a factor? I remember hearing something before about having exactly this amount being the cause of some strange errors.
Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Chris Williams
