The failures are typically segfaults but could "internal errors" to gcc or mis-reference header in cpp. In all cases transient - ie not reproducible on retry. On the pa8800 machine, a "time make -j2" of the kernel would fail in ~10 seconds. "time make" would fail anywhere from 30 seconds to 6 minutes after starting. Re-starting the job would let it run another chunk in time. To me, it all suggest the PA8800 32M L2 cache isn't being flushed when it might need to be. I don't think it's a new problem. Just an old one that's easier to reproduce with the bigger cache. grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
