That's a classic sign of faulty memory. I had the same thing when I bought four pieces of 256M ECC RAM. I had two parts each built from NEC and Samsung chips. Much as I have liked Samsung in the past, any time I had any piece of the Samsung memory installed, no matter which slot, a buildworld running while doing some heavy tar compress/decom- press operations would cause a fatal trap. Run the NEC memory alone, no problems. Run either or both of the Samsung pieces alone, problems. Remove the newly-added memory and ensure that the problems goes away. If so, try using JUST the new memory alone, either one piece at a time, or all at once, and see whether the problem occurs only when the new memory is used. If so, return the memory for a different make or better quality. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
