Please try the following:
Install an IDE drive. Install kernel source 2.2.x on it (or the whole Linux
distribution). Try running the following crash test compiling the kernel tree
(you
must use kernel source 2.2.x source tree even if you are running a 2.0 kernel):
crashtest.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
ARGS=""
if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then
ARGS="-j $1"
fi
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
make dep; make clean
echo compiling $i.$j series...
make $ARGS zImage > log.$i.$j 2>&1
done
done
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you run the crashtest.sh with args 8 or at least 4 (so that make -j8
or
make -j4 would be executed). If your box crashes, or even one compilation fails
with
signal 11 or whatever you have a hardware problem and SCSI driver is not to
blaim.
In that case try conservative memory settings in BIOS, then memory replacement,
then
CPU replacement.
(For successful compilations, check the log.*.* files; all of them must have the
same size and have "System size is" line at the end.)
