Those of you who report a stable BP6 box... try this to make sure......
recompile a kernel recursively in an endless loop... a quick and easy way
of doing so is to go into /usr/src/linux
and write the following c program:
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
while(1)
{
system("make clean");
system("make -j 10 bzImage");
}
}
compile this program with "gcc -o loop loop.c" if you named the C file
loop.c
this is very cpu and memory intensive and weans out a lot of weak
configurations. Let it kernel-compile all night long and check it out the
next day... if it runs stable..... then do the same thing in X with
possibly rc5 running in the background and see if it wont crash for at
least 12 hours... idle machines are almost always stable... also.. some
BP6 motherboards halt consistently when the MPS is set to 1.1 instead of
1.4 in the BIOS.
