Description Julian Clark 2004-04-15 09:12:16 UTC
While emerging kde.
Gets part way through compiling, then crashes.
I ran emerge --fetchonly kdebase
then emerge kdebase

At some point there appears to be a segmentation fault (on one occaision the system hung instead of rebooting)

While it had hung, I couldn't switch to another terminal.
I had to hit the power switch :(



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bootstrapped the system pretty much following the quick setup guide.
2. logged in as root.
3. emerge kdebase

Actual Results:  
System rebooted (dirty & nasty reboot too) part-way through compiling.

Expected Results:  
installed a nice window manager.
Instead I'm stuck with TWM.

emerge kdebase | tee output.log

This is the output from the compiler.

Cheers,

Julian

This indicates a hardware problem.  Probably your processor is getting too hot.
Comment 3 Julian Clark 2004-04-15 16:41:12 UTC
Thanks for that. 
I've reset my processor to 2GHz and am re-compiling now.

I'll post back with my results (which hopefully should be good)

Cheers,

Julian
Comment 4 Julian Clark 2004-04-15 22:57:42 UTC
I Reset my processor to 2GHz (no longer overclocked) it's still happening.
According to the Bios, my processor (within 20 seconds of a reboot) is sitting at 43 degrees c. I'm not certain that it is an overheating issue.

This was the last of the text on screen when it last hung.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address d0000000

I've attached the output again

Comment 6 Julian Clark 2004-04-16 20:47:46 UTC
I've changed the memory command rate in the BIOS, and the System no-longer hangs on this error. It still produces an error :(

It seems that this error occurs when I'm emerging anything that requires 
qt-3.3.0-r1

The same error also occured when I tried emerge arts.
It will now exit after a segmentation fault. Atleast it exits a litle nicer now :)

Qt is a very intense package to build.  Still seems like you're having local hardware problems, though.
Comment 8 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-05-26 08:42:53 UTC
sounds like a local issue - don't think we can help out on this one.
