my kernel config

I took this config from my working r6 src tree and then ran "make menuconfig"
and selected some more things with the interface  (I2C as modules + CPIA camera
support).

Sorry about two attachments, bugzilla gives me an error but succeeds anyway..

Just in case here is my gcc info:

Can you upgrade to gcc3.3 and see if this happens?

[Comment 6 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) 2003-09-15 10:24:45 UTC]

Also, can you run memtest for a while (at least 3 passes) and make sure 
it's not bad memory, that is the most prominent cause for segfaults. If your 
computer does not pass the tests, try tuning your memory settings to a 
more stable setting. 

[Comment 7 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2003-10-11 13:12:04 UTC]

No reply, lowering priority and severity.

[Comment 8 Akom 2003-10-13 07:22:24 UTC]

Sorry for the delay and trouble, but I can't get this to happen anymore -
I think something was wrong with my ide controller..

[Comment 9 Akom 2003-10-13 07:28:33 UTC]

In case anyone else has similar problems, I would get random segfaults during
various long compiles/emerges... on some compiles it would sometimes get
through without failure, on others (notably gaim for me) it would always
segfault but at different places.   After I guessed that it might be the
secondary IDE channel and took the CD drive off of it, all compiles are sefault-free
and PC stopped hard locking on heavy I/O.
