I'm sorry for the overly general summary, but I'm trying to load Gentoo/PPC onto a Powerbook G3 ("bronze" keyboard) and am getting crashes left and right. First, I've noticed that emerge sync crashes at the end of its course - it'll apparently download and leave all of the files in /usr/portage that it should, but it crashes nonetheless. Next, I try doing "emerge system" (since I already have a stage 1 CD). This works for a few small ports, but when I get to bzip2, this is the output: -------------------- Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/bzip2-1.0.2-r2 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) bzip2-1.0.2.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking bzip2-1.0.2.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/bzip2-1.0.2-r2/work >>> Source unpacked. gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c blocksort.c gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c huffman.c gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c crctable.c gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c randtable.c gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c compress.c gcc -fpic -fPIC -Wall -Winline -O3 -pipe -mcpu=750 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c decompress.c gcc: Internal error: Terminated (program cc1) Please submit a full bug report. See <URL:http://bugs.gentoo.org/> for instructions. make: *** [compress.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... !!! ERROR: sys-apps/bzip2-1.0.2-r2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 35, Exitcode 2 !!! Make failed ---------------------------- With this package, though, I am able to unzip the tarball manually and compile it myself. Weird, since I can't find much that's different in the ebuild than a simple compile. Anyway, so I tried next "emerge man". Again, it brought in a few smaller packages then started on groff. Again, a similar crash. I tried compiling groff manually like I had done w/ bzip2, but this time even manual compilation produced the error. I'm not ruling out the possibility of the hardware being responsible, but this machine was happily running OS X before I decided I wanted a "real" UNIX on there. (I first tried NetBSD....plegh! Gentoo's install is WAY better!) It's worth noting that the NetBSD installer also did crash while it was running, but that's a quirky installer anyway in my (admittedly limited) experience.
My first guess would be that your memory is faulty. Could that be possible?
Is this bug still valid? Do you still have troubles with your RAM?
No answer. Closing.
