I want to install Boinc.

Juanito:
It would help if you could post the full text of the illegal instruction error.

CentralWare:
@Richard: Before you continue any further, you should really run a scan on your hard drive to make sure it's healthy.

--- Code: ---tce-load -wi smartmontools.tcz
--- End code ---
Once SMART is installed, do a quick scan of the drive (which I am assuming is /dev/sda, correct the command if I am assuming incorrectly)

--- Code: ---sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda
--- End code ---
This is a very generic self-test and takes all of a second to complete.

That's literally all it says.

Terminal output.

installed and ran ...  test result says "PASSED"


PS...  I do appreciate all the help so far...

I know...  that's why we're trying to help. :)

Okay, the "knocking" of the hard drive is puzzling, but we'll leave that alone for a moment (but still...  be mentally prepared for a hard drive replacement "just in case" as the main culprits of knocking drives are bad drives or bad power supplies.)

@Juanito: I was looking at the build scripts and noticed what MIGHT be an unintended file naming: 15.x/x86/tcz/gudev-gir.tcz ~~ was this intended to be gudev-lib-gir.tcz?
compile_webkitgtk4 is calling for gudev-lib-dev (not found) which is what led me into this direction; not that it has anything to do with this issue, but software wise it's on the list.

@Richard Cranium: In the meantime, please take a photo of the screen from the command below and post the results here.

--- Code: ---cat /proc/cpuinfo
--- End code ---
We need the lines processor through flags at the very least.  (Processor line should contain "processor      : 0")
If you need more than one photo to accomplish this

--- Code: ---cat /proc/cpuinfo | more
--- End code ---
...and press the ENTER key to show the next line or SPACE bar to show the next full screen of information.

Specifically, on the flags line, you want to see whether the letters "smt" or "ht" exist.
IF SO, you need to go into BIOS and disable Hyper-Threading (HT/SMT did not exist yet with the Pentium 3 processor generation, but some motherboards which operated with EITHER P3 or P4 Socket 37x processors would have the option to enable HT/SMT with the assumption you had a P4 chip installed. Some laptops, especially ThinkPads of the age, used this "feature" as a potential "upgrade" in their sales pitch in a special line of motherboards which had removable processors...  it was rare anyone actually DID the upgrade, though, considering the amount of work/time it takes to dismantle the machine, switch processors, and put it back together.)
