Hi there! I'm trying to compile Wine on my Red Hat7.1. But during the compilation my system suddenly reboots without any error message. Under Red Hat 7.0 I also can't compile it, only on SuSE 7.0 does it work! What's wrong? What can I do about it? Thx Marius

Does it crash the machine with RedHat 7.0 too?> What can I do about it?Check your kernel configuration. Maybe you have a chipset that has a bug and you need to recompile your kernel with a special option. Ask for help on the RedHat mailing lists. Check your hardware. Run memtest86 to check the memory for instance, see http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/ Maybe try to run a benchmark tool on Windows to stress the hardware (especially I/O aspects) and see if it's stable on Windows or if it crashes on Windows too. If it crashes on Windows too then it's even more likely to be a hardware problem (if not it does not mean much though). -- Francois Gouget fgouget@free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)" -- Linus Torvalds

My machine (a junk-pentium 120) will throw segment faults (signal 11) or do a hardware reset if the relative humidity gets too high. Have a look here, too: http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ gcc, wine, and X11 are about the best memory test programs going, but they don't have very good diagnostics.
