Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've tried to emerging glibc-2.3.1-r2 many times but my machine always freezes |
| 4 |
when installing the locale data (the machine locks solid and I get a band of |
| 5 |
garbage on the display). I am using an Apple PowerBook 3400c. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
For the last two times that it happened, I captured the output of the script |
| 8 |
(see transcript 1 and 2) and noticed that the interleaving of the messages |
| 9 |
was non-deterministic. This led me to concluded that perhaps that was some |
| 10 |
sort of parallization was going on. So, on yet another run, I ssh'ed into the |
| 11 |
machine and captured the output of "ps -ef" a few seconds before the machine |
| 12 |
froze up. Transcript 3 shows the output of that command, which confirms my |
| 13 |
suspicions. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Anyhow, I am led to believe that problem has something to do with the parallel |
| 16 |
make. I have two questions 1) does anyone know of a race condition that might |
| 17 |
cause a hard lockup in this instance, and 2) since my machine is a |
| 18 |
uniprocessor, what possible advantage could I gain from this parallel make? |
| 19 |
Is there anything I could do to turn this "feature" off? I am willing to bet |
| 20 |
that I would be much more successful without it, if only because it would |
| 21 |
stress my machine less and make it less likely to croak. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thanks, |
| 24 |
|
