Set all those things to Off or Disabled. You wil want stability first, speed maybe later. It probably won't make a difference, but it at least excludes one possible source of problems. > System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor > 2500+ You've said you have an MSI K8M800 motherboard. Looking at http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_list.asp?class=mb&cpu=3, such boards only support "Sempron 2600+, 2800+, 3000+, 3100+, 3300+", not a 2500+. This may not be a problem, but then again, it might not be listed for a reason. > real samba sdl sndfile snmp spell ssl svg sysvipc tcpd tiff till No "sse" USE flag?
