Seems to me some of us have reported just that. Like me. I used to get
1 or 2 crashes daily, then turned off APM and ACPI in the BIOS, removed
APM from the kernel, put append="noapic" in lilo.conf, and didn't have
one crash in a couple of weeks of continuous kernel compiles. I've
given up trying to make it die.
My configuration:
BP6 with "old" BIOS (I forget what it's called)
Dual 366's running at 525 Mhz, 2.1V
128M ECC PC100 SDRAM
AOpen HX45A case with associated 250W power supply
WD 18G UDMA 7200 RPM HD as /dev/hda
ATAPI CD-ROM as /dev/hdc (using SCSI emulation)
Floppy drive
RIVA TNT 16MB AGP video, 1280x1024, 24-bit color
ISA NE2000 clone on IRQ 10
Creative Labs AudioPCI sound
Red Hat 6.0
KDE 1.1.2 running 24/7
If someone has something I should test, let me know... but please be
specific.
