- I have exactly this same problem when trying to build the
- system. (Smaller compiles seem to go OK). Re-running make will usually
- continue and compile a few more things and then it happens again,
- howeever it seems to get stuck on some files, forcing me to reboot and
- then continue. Sounds like something is being left hanging around in
- memory after cc runs but who knows? Any thoughts or patches???
-
- Also, I've installed X and it seems to work fairly well with a
- few exceptions (literally)...(floating point to be exact). Two things
- that will invariably cause the exceptions are Xeyes and starting a
- second Xclock. Xgif runs fine as well as Xterm. Probably has something
- to do with the math used to draw circles???? I should also mention that
- the motherboard I'm using has an 80*2*87 and not an 80*3*87 installed,
- but I'm of the impression that the 2 are compatible. Could it be that
- they're not and that BSD is using some 387 specific code???
-
- AND while I'm typing... I've installed CDGs com patches and there
- was some improvement in attainable speeds, but I still can't run SLIP or
- Zmodem at 9600 baud. (Get those SILO overflow errors). Is it possible
- to run 9600+ with an 16450 under BSD or should I just give up and get
- 16550s? Will the 550s allow it?
-
- Sorry... all questions... no answers. Tim
- ACK!
