I checked memory, cpu and disks with several tools (memtest, pc-analyse, maxtor disk tester) nothing. Is there anything else I can do to simulate stress like that without compiling a kernel. Maybe this points me to the broken hardware. By the way: I did other (not so big) compilations on the system without any problems. Regards, Chris
