Interesting. emerge -V Try >=48_pre5 I have done as you requested: CP10860-b loial # emerge -V Portage 2.0.48_pre5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1) CP10860-b loial # It still seg faults though. Running the command on one of my virtual consoles (i.e. not in konsole) also crashes, so I guess you can forget about my konsole history remark. I'm not sure how often I can still type emerge -C mm-sources. It must be getting nearer to completion now ;-) Can you strace this for me? strace -f -o portage-mmsources-segv.strace emerge -C mm-sources bzip2 it and upload it, if you would. (Minimally, the last 100k of it) Okay, aargh I did as you asked, but guess what, emerge -C mm-sources didn't crashed when straced *duh* After a while I decided that it wasn't going to crash and killed the strace. Then I started a regular emerge -C mm-sources and that output 20 lines and then the emerge command completed *groan* So I thought, let's try the latest mm-sources and I installed it. When it finished I immediately ran emerge -C mm-sources and miracle of miracles, it segfaulted! (Along with mozilla, in which I was just typing you a message similar to this one:( ) Then I decided to perform some strace magic on it and... it didn't crash; it just completed like it is supposed to. I will try to run an strace on it a couple of times and see if it will crash, but I doubt it. I will report back if it does though. btw here are my CFLAGS, I heard someone mention them (was it the docs?) as being as far as he would go without compromising system integrity: CP10860-b root # emerge --info Portage 2.0.48_pre6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-openmosix-r4 i686 Pentium III (Coppermine) GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo// http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo// http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.11/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://212.219.56.131/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.2/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.15/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt encode gif jpeg mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline arts svga java X sdl gpm pam libwww ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gtk qt kde motif opengl aalib cdr cups dga directfb doc fbcon ggz -gnome gphoto2 imap -libg++ mbox mozilla oav pic plotutils sse -tcpd tetex tiff wmf tcltk" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium3 -march=pentium3 -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox distcc ccache" CP10860-b root # I don't suppose this is still a problem? I'm sorry to have to disappoint you, but it is still a problem. I have just tried to uninstall an older version of the development-sources and the same thing happened, which is that it started to remove files like it is supposed to, but then after a few seconds it segfaults. Running the same command once more made my konsole disappear :( I'm not having stability problems when not using emerge -C If I run strace on it, it completes normally. It takes quite a while, but it doesn't crash... Maybe I can run a debug version of emerge to try and find the problem? I lied. I said I didn't have any stability problems when not using emerge -C, but that's not true. Today I tried to install openoffice-1.0.3-r1 and it crashed during the compilation part. I restarted it and after a while it must have crashed again and it took konsole with it. I'm starting to think strange things now. Okay, i finally figured it out. It must have been a kernel problem. I installed the gentoo-kernel and all crashes vanished. Seems like i'm rock-solid again ;-) I was using the openmosix-kernel (2.4.20-openmosix-r6). I had turned off automatic migration of processes tho, so it shouldn't have had any influence, but apparently it did... sounds good :) |
