Well Sreangsu, It may not be the case. Chances are that this is due to piece to piece
variation. My swapped my earlier mobo, on which I could not compile kernel, either at
home or at vendors place with different cables and RAM. However with this mobo, it
compiled at his place. So chances of working it are more. I hope it works with some
BIOS tweaks. Anyway ....

To add to it, it happens only at high loads, otherwise never.. For all I want to
compile kernel, is to get KDE2 compiled. I am bugged of netscape eating 40MB memory
for 6-7 windows? Gee, is that statically linked?

I guess that's a far fetched measure. How would it help? When I run kernel compile, I
run it as stand alone program and monitor it with top in some othe virtual. console.
Absolutely no other programs running, all unnecesssary daemons turned off(at the time
of installation only). Swap is not in the picture, for I am sure.
