gcc failing like this is usually caused by hardware problems (e.g. bad DIMMs). gcc is a very good memory tester.
If you have "memory remapping" enabled in the BIOS turn it off, also make sure to run the latest BIOS. If that doesn't help it's likely broken hardware.
I'll start a memcheck, check memory mapping and BIOS version.
memcheck showed no issues. BIOS version has been updated to most recent. BOIS MTRR Mapping setting has been changed from 'Discrete' to 'Continuous'. The problem persists. All I have to do to produce it is: - Use yast to force update of gcc files - run dd to create a 4G file After running dd, two or three of the gcc files will fail 'md5sum --check' -K
