When I was first here, we used to see a lot of them. Now, they are uncommon on released versions of the book (probably because the Pentium4 made cooling such a big issue). The likely causes include:
RAM chip gone bad (try memtest86 or memtest86+) insufficient cooling of the processor (e.g. a build up of dust, or a faulty fan, or air routes blocked) inadequate power supply (e.g. perhaps you added a "thirsty" video card or more hard drives) unstable bios settings or overclocking I suppose it's also possible to get segfaults if the mains supply itself is very poor. If you have no reason to suspect the power supply and the settings, I suggest taking a look inside the case to make sure it isn't full of fluff (it's amazing what gets sucked in), and then downloading memtest86 or similar and letting that run for a few hours. If you can't find anything wrong, you could also try again to see if it gets through tcl without problems after a cold start. Not a fun sort of problem to diagnose, so Good Luck! ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
