Re: port-macppc/57342: kernel compile error bpf_stub.c illegal instruction

[Chris Tucker <capa150%gmail.com@localhost>]

I resolved the problem.
I switched to a different hard drive and the kernel compiled successfully
on the first try.
It compiled the stock kernel on the first try.
Then I compiled a custom kernel on the first try as well.

The bad hard drive was a Diamondmax Plus 8 6E030L0 30GB.

The drive that worked is a IBM Travelstar DJSA-220 12GB.
