What I said was that I disabled my external cache today (which cut my CPU performance in HALF :( on mmy 386/33) but my compiler woes went away. I can compile the kernel from scratch without rebooting.. Since I've been using 386BSD since july, I figured that if I haven't known the cache to be a potential problem with system stability, then maybe others don't know as well. Hence this post. Gene: is it a surefire solution to replace the cache chips? Maybe you could elaborate. Rick Dante
