Unfortunately: A) The booted kernel is my personal build based on -mcpu=cortex-a76 and LSE_ATOMICS . (It is in use on a RPi5 booted via EDK2.) B) The booted world is a PkgBase world. C) The poudriere jail's world directory tree is my personal armv7 world build based on -mcpu=cortex-a7 . All are based on: main-n268827-75464941dc17 . (Well, PkgBase commit identification/verification for world does not exist. I happened to update PkgBase during a long lull for commits to main. In the context, the boot-world seems unlikely to be involved here.) The boot media is a U2 Optane 960 GB used via a USB3 adaptor. I've done bunches of builds in the (A)-(C) context on the RPi5 and have not seen this before, so: does not look to be readily repeatable. (Unfortunately, the purpose of the build was to find out how long the particular build configuration took to finish building the 265 packages from scratch, for comparison to other builds.) I may wait for the system to become fairly idle and then see about forcing a crash dump. It may be a while before the poudriere bulk runs out of packages it can build, absent building boost-libs . Side note: As far as I can tell, how to identify a context that allows identification of what commit vintage a PkgBase world is based on is unspecified so far. For a PkgBase kernel uname -apKU may well report the kernel-commit identification well. (Hard to verify.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
