Description krask 1999-07-07 01:10:01 UTC

M#1 is based on a TYAN Tomcat IV, 2*P166MMX, 64 MB, 2940UW, SCSI only.
M#2 is an ALR Evolution V STe (2*P100 classic, PCI/EISA) w. a single IDE HDD drive and a 1542CP running the CD-ROM. it has 72 MB RAM.
To the best of my knowledege, the machines are installed in the same way.
M#2 has been installed 4 times, including adding a dos Partition to move the installation to another part of the disk.
It cant even compile the GENERIC kernel. It all ends during make with a
internal compiler error 11. Just before this, it complains about missing
expressions and excess garbage. It does it every time, but not the exact same place in the source, it's usually somewhere near the .../cam stuff. M#1 has no problems, and is already running a SMP enabled kernel.

How-To-Repeat: Gee.. i dont know... i'm not sending you the machine... but some pointers would be nice. I can simply follow the doc's. CP GENERIC GENERIC2, change the ident line to match, /usr/sbin/config GENERIC2, cd ../../compile/GENERIC2, make depend, make ... and the compiler gets scared and suicidal...

This usually suggests a memory problem.  Try swapping the RAM between 
machines.  I they are not the same type borrow some from a friend and 
see if this helps.  If this doesn't help (9 times out of 10 it does), 
then I will re-open the PR and we'll need more details to look closer 
at the problem.  Thanks.
