Re: [gentoo-user] Segmentation Fault Everywhere

Just because Windows doesn't seg fault doesn't mean it's 
not broken.  The compling, etc. we do with Gentoo is far 
harder on a system then Windows.  In addition Windows may 
not tell you - it just gives some strange error.

99.999% of seg faults are hardware.  There is a definitive 
reference on this but I don't have it where I can get to 
it.

Hi,

Yes, the system has been working just fine but somehow su 
seg faulted so
I restarted and after restart my system was completely 
corrupted (at
least mount and su) and I haven't tried others. I have a 
new ASUS
motherboard that's working just fine in windows so it is 
not the
problem. I don't think it's hardware. But now I need my 
system back. Can
I reemerge mount, su, etc? What should I do?

Has this system been working till now?

Seg faults are usually hardware problems - memory, cpu, 
motherboard.
Mine
was a defective ASUS board (they replaced it).

Hi all,

I'm running Gentoo on my desktop and somehow while I was 
working,
su'ing
to root and back, I got a segmentation fault while 
su'ing to root.
Then
I tried again and again and I started getting a lot of 
segmentation
faults. Then I rebooted, at the start of boot Gentoo was 
not able to
mount proc and stopped asking me if I wanted to enter as 
root so I
did.
I get segmentation fault with mount and su at least. 
What can I do?
(do
not answer "panic" please) Any ideas?

Best regards,

Paulo Jorge Matos
