Parallelism with Make can spit out the most opaque and peculiar problems; they really should have a small note appended to emerge's failure message regarding this, as it causes so many odd issues. As for disabling APIC, I'm not certain whether it will serve as a more permanent solution for this particular issue or not. It's worth a try, I suppose, although I am gravely doubtful. Which motherboard and CPU do you have? AMD licenced Intel's APIC for their Athlon series and onwards, the debut of which was over an entire decade after your 2007 processor. > it owes nobody a thing. Despite what seems to be the modern consensus, electronic components should not break beyond repair for no reason. I have an original 1974 rotary telephone sat next to me and it still works perfectly (until British Telecom turns off support for pulse dialling in 2025, the bastards); albeit, it is slightly more straight- forward than a processor. ;-) Anyway, try disabling APCI, re-enable Make parallelism, and get back to us. I doubt it will do much with regards to compilation, although you never know with "-j N". LOL. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
