I ran into a similar problem on my K6-2 450, random bomb outs on the
compiles. The SIG 11 faq notes several possibilities for this,
including:
1. Bad RAM
2. Bad cache
3. Incorrect voltage settings for the CPU
There are more, but this will usually comprise the bulk of the problems.
You should check out your hardware, mine turned out to be voltage. The
motherboard said to use 2.4 volts (original K6-2 processors), but the
newer members of the K6-2 family use 2.2 volts. Lesson? Check the
processor... :o)
Anyways, I agree with the other part of the RPM issue. It would be a
great feature if you could restart the RPM build at any stage. What they
need is an additional stage (%configure) that precedes the %build, then
you could issue a command: rpm -bb --from-{stage} .... and bypass a lot
of other stuff. Oh well, maybe in the future.
