Where I wrote 500MB, please, read as 500GB.

Karma? Perhaps. I don't know what would cause a problem with a cable. The only things I can think of are heat, vibration, or poor construction. Unless you are in an unusual environment, I'd think of poor construction as the most likely cause. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Fernando de Oliveira wrote: So, past Monday, I finally sent it for repair. Now it is back since Friday, apparently working without problems. The technician did not know exactly what to do, only some ideas. The composite solution I found: 1. Replacing all cables (technician's and my idea). 2. Cleaning everything inside the case. 3. Replacing the processor's fan (cooler) and installing one more fan inside the case. Heat can indeed be a problem. I've not really heard of a problem with cables before, but one thing that can cause heat problems is the power supply. Checking that for how much heat is generated may help if the problem comes back. The PS may also generate extra heat if it is under powered for your equipment. Of course maxing all processors with some of the builds will stress the system. If everything goes on well, I will try to build more packages in my LFS7.2, including Xorg, and then be back testing packages to help tag lfs_72... helping Bruce's call for volunteers, and perhaps learning how to determine dependencies and how to produce diffs for the books, so could be more effective helping LFS/BLFS. Creating a patch for a tarball is pretty easy. tar -xf package.tar.gz mv package package.orig tar -xf package.tar.gz Make changes to the source in package diff -Naur package.orig package patch Creating a patch for the book is also easy svn co svn://linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk/ Make changes svn diff patch -- Bruce -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
