LFS6.1 - 6.14 GCC installation, make check hangs

I've done everything according to the online book so far, and up to now i've had no major problems.

When I "make -k check" after "make"-ing the gcc-3.4.3 package it seems like the computer hangs, but it doesn't really.. First I figured it just takes a really long time so I left the computer running for the whole night. It had done no progress at all the next morning.

As I do not have a keyboard and monitor for the LFS computer, I am installing the system via SSH. I tried opening a new SSH connection and did a "top", and it showed a "expect" process hogging 99.5% of the proc.
Everything worked on the computer tho.. Webserver worked fine..

I don't really know what to do here.. The LFS website says nothing about this kind of problem and nobody seems to have had the same problem on this forum. Please help..:confused:

Oh BTW... the computer is a PIII-500MHz with 192MB ram and about 6 gigs of HD.

Do you compile with cflags? unset them first before you compile critical packages like gcc.

I am pretty sure I made sure that they were unset, but I will try recompiling the package anyway. Thanx.

Just figured out it was the HD of the host system that went belly up. Works just fine for a while, but after a while it won't respond at all.
Sorry about the really not linux related problem... :/
