Ok, I'm going to waffle one more time:
When compiling before, I could reliably hang or oops the machine
simply by running continuous "make"s of the kernel.
By reliably I mean that the compile would fail, on the MAJORITY
of the compiles, i.e. usually about 1/2 way through the process.
After trying all sorts of measures, I have found one that seems so far
to reliably fix the problem: run it with the case off. Since there is
unlikely to be any "grounding problems" because of the way the case is
laid out (its a full tower, the case is really just a "wrapper" for a
solid frame, and touches no components), it is almost certainly
thermal.
So, for the moment I retract what I said earlier, but I may waffle again
if I can't fix it by proper ventilation (I didn't realize how critical it
was..)
Now, if I could just get the serial ports to work so I can use my 3-b
mouse...

Any sufficiently advanced operating system is indistinguishable from Un*x.
