I upgraded to kernel 2.6.27 (gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r3) yesterday. &nbsp;Today I experienced random segfaults during an emerge (twice during emerging mozilla-thunderbird; one time &quot;as&quot; (assembler) segfaulted, on the second try python segfaulted at the end of the emerge).<br>

<br>
Anyone noticing something similar? &nbsp;I&#39;m reverting back to 2.6.26 for now.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>You do not see these segfaults on 2.6.26, right? When I had the symptoms you described, it turned out that my RAM voltage needed to be raised in the BIOS. Do you run the proprietary nvidia-drivers? If you don&#39;t, run any software that taints the kernel, I&#39;d file a bug with upstream kernel people: <a href="http://bugzilla.kernel.org/">http://bugzilla.kernel.org/</a><br>
