Kernel Freezes

[Wesley Morgan]

I'm in the process of upgrading to an amd64 machine, and have run into 
some problems. The system is a Sempron 2600+ running in an ABIT KV-85 
board, with 1gb of ram and a Maxtor 300gb SATA drive.

So far, I was able to install both 6.1-beta2 and 6.0 without a problem. 
The system boots fine and seems to idle fine (at least, it idled all last 
night). The problem occurs when I try to compile something -- a custom 
kernel, buildworld, a couple ports -- the system freezes solid, with a 
garbled video display. The network driver doesn't seem to be the problem. 
I've disabled practically everything I can in the BIOS and I've even 
installed an old PCI video card, all with the same result.

Trying to boot a 5.4 kernel was unsuccessful, the system froze during 
device detection, although I am not sure where as the screen became 
unreadable. I'll have to try a serial console later.

Unfortunately I don't have the dmesg output handy ATM, but I wanted to 
know if this problem tickled anyone's brain for a possible answer... I'll 
post the boot logs later.


Thanks,

WM
