    I checked memory, cpu and disks with several tools (memtest, pc-analyse,
    maxtor disk tester) nothing. Is there anything else I can do to simulate
    stress like that without compiling a kernel. Maybe this points me to the
    broken hardware.

    By the way: I did other (not so big) compilations on the system without
    any problems.
