I was having some issues with debian unstable, and decided to give sorceror linux a try, but it keeps locking my machine up during the initial package compiles. The kernel compiled quickly with no errors, so I know gcc is at least partially functional, but I wouldn't rule out 'cc' as the culprit.
I have tried this 3 different ways. It keeps hard locking (no ctrl-alt-del, numlock doesn't change the keyboard led's, etc) with the last text below. I thought maybe it was a disk problem, ran IBM's tools after each crash (IBM 75GXP), found no errors. Sorceror's (1/25/02 image I think) initial copy, config, and kernel compile went fine, I rebooted, ran passwd to set root, then ran sorcery update, which crashed during PERL compilation. First time I used EXT3, 512 megs ram, 512 megs swap partition, chose Athlon optimizations and 'speedy' optimizations Second time I repartitioned, ext2, 512 meg swap file, no ide-scsi, chose athlon optimizations and 'speedy' optimizations Third time, same install as above w/o reinstalling, went into sorcery config, disabled 'speedy optimizations', then same thing. here's the last bit of stuff from when it locks. before this, it compiles some other stuff (openssl maybe, I think alsa-libs, not sure what else), goes through all the perl config scripts, then starts making PERL, then... cp B/Stackobj.pm ../../lib/B/Stackobj.pm cp B/Xref.pm ../../lib/B/Xref.pm ../../miniperl -I../../lib -I ../../lib ../../lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap ../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap B.xs > B.xsc && mv B.xsc B.c ../../miniperl -I../../lib -I../../lib -I../../lib -I../../lib defsubs_h.PL defsubs.h Extracting defsubs.h... cc -c -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -DVERSION=\"a5\" -fpic -I../../ B.c Any ideas?
