If anyone can give me a clue I'd appreciate it. Yup, looks like a bad memory slot along with a bad stick of RAM. I switched slots and installed a known-good stick of RAM and was able to build world. So I need to get the mainboard replaced, but at least it's not falling over in a stiff breeze. Stupid hardware. Thanks, guys Matt As well as the things mentioned, it could also be a bad memory slot (rather than chip), so try with one chip in one slot; if it still fails, one chip in another slot; if it fails another chip in one slot etc. It could be a combination :-( --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
