Stability issues
I've been running Debian testing for about a year-and-a-half. It's been
quite stable. I performed a dist-upgrade about two weeks ago. It's
been unstable since. By unstable I mean that applications may crash
(disappear) and the system may freeze. The system is freezing about
once a day.
My processor is an Athlon 64 3200+, but I'm running the 686 kernel
(2.6.18-4). I've posted a few logs here:
http://robinsonhome.org/logs1/dmesg.txt
http://robinsonhome.org/logs1/kern.log
http://robinsonhome.org/logs1/messages
One thing I noticed while recompiling various applications is that gcc
would display the following error:
dsputil.c: In function 'pix_abs8_y2_c':
dsputil.c:3048: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
For Debian GNU/Linux specific bug reporting instructions,
see <URL:file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.1/README.Bugs>.
The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.
But if I just continued the build by typing 'make' again, it would pick
up where it left off and eventually complete. For a large application,
I may run into this problem a few times. Upon further view of the build
logs I noticed this snippet:
gcc -c -pipe -march=k8
Does this mean that it's building the application as 64-bit? Could my
distribution somehow now be mixed 32 and 64 bit? Could this possibly be
the source of my problems? If so, how can I recover? If not, any
suggestions as to how I should continue troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Mike
