gcc: Signal 7
Can anybody tell me what happened when I was compiling a kernel? I got this gcc: signal 7 error and it stopped. I was doing a make -j. make -j5 seems to work flawlessly. I've also received a gcc signal 5 before, and I don't know what that is, either. Can anybody tell me what these are, or where I can find out myself? Also, does anybody know a good stresstest for a new motherboard? I've run the memtest86.bin for about 18 hours without flaw. -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.

K6 bug
I have seen a number of posts and questions on the AMD K6 bug. To correct what I believe are some misconceptions, as well as to inform, I looked for an answer: A quick search on altavista revealed this page: http://www.chorus.com/~poulot/k6bug_tests.html and from my own bookmarks: http://www.chorus.com/~poulot/k6bug.html (I just noticed they are from the same place. he he) -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.

VIA Chipsets and Linux
I am considering purchasing a motherboard using one of the VIA chipsets (VP1, VPX, VP2) instead of a TX-based motherboard. Does anybody know of any compatability issues, such as IDE drivers, etc..? I'm considering the Rhino-12+ from Octek (Ocean) or a FIC PA-2007. The Rhino uses the VPX chipset (although its listed as using the VP1) and the PA-2007 uses the VP2. Does anybody have one of these boards to generate useful comments? Thank-you for your indulgence, -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.

ppp
It's me again. OK. Now and again, when I try to go online via pon (ppp), the modem hangs up before I'm connected but pppd just sits there and never goes away. Even as root, I'm unable to kill it with any signals, but going to single user mode does it. What is wrong and why can't I kill the process? Going back into mode 2, I can go online flawlessly. -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.

I can lock up machine. Why?
Hey. I've been doing lots of programming lately and have noticed (how could I not) that I am reliably able to cause my machine to lockup. I'm running 1.3.1, and have reinstalled from CD twice, once going so far as to wipe the entire boot partition first. This is how I do it: open a document in xfte that is several pages long. Quickly scroll through it using the page up and page down keys. In as little time as a minute I'm able to lock the machine solid -- no disk access, nothing. Note that I told the Xserver to disable XAA acceleration and am now stable but slow. I'm running a Cyrix P120+, Tyan Titan III, and Trident 9680 PCI with 2 Megs of RAM on the card, 24 in the machine. Also note that this machine has been perfectly stable for well over a year, since Debian 1.2, in fact. -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.

Re: X server or window manager dies when changing virtual terminals.
I have been having a problem that has now gotten really bad with the new Netscape 4.03. When I am using X and change to one of the other virtual terminals then come back to X the server shuts down and I end up back at the xdm prompt. It is almost guaranteed to happen with Netscape 4.03 and sometimes with tkmail. It is rare if there are only xterm or rxvt sessions running. Any ideas would be great. Thanks for the help. Chris Have you looked to see what's in .xsession-errors after this problem happens? Don't log back in via xdm, as that would zero it out; switch to a text console, log in, and copy the .xsession-errors file to some other name so that it won't be overwritten next time you log on via xdm. I've got an even wierder problem. Before I disabled acceleration (XAA), I could reliably cause my xserver to lock up the entire machine -- no external logins, control-alt-delete, etc... -- Jon Nelson U of MN Housing and Res.
