Even though you don't get errors, you seem to have a corruption of some kind. 1. you have overheating/clocked hardware which then stresses during cpu operations like this. 2. You haven't checked your ext3 partition in a while, boot in single user mode and do a thorough fscheck. 3. You might have done too many optimisations on your hdd (using hdparm) 4. You might have a hardware corruption, which could be difficult to tackle. I would just in case check the memory (memtest) and maybe the harddrive if you can. Please reply to gentoo-user for further reference. Steph On Wednesday 04 June 2003 13:52, Tobias J.
