 |
|
Now I have removed Preempt from the kernel I am no longer suffering any lockups, however I have to wonder why the gimp won't compile, specifically because it fails at a different point and with different problems each time. That suggests unstable hardware or data corruption, how can I isolate / solve it?

You might want to try backing off one optimization level in the compile. I may be wrong, but that seems to have helped me on random compile bombs.
Look for it in make.conf:
| Code: | # Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Pentium III+/Pentium 4/Athlon optimized (but binaries
# will run on any x86 system)
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe"
|
Knock down the -O3 to -O2 and try it.
There's probably a better way to do it just for Gimp, but this has worked for me in the past.

I'm thinking it might actually be that AMD / nVidia conflict people have floated... I killed X, then rmmod NVdriver and it compiled perfectly first time. Now to find / apply that AMD patch...
