You emphasise how old the hardware is, but this really isn't a
problem. As you say, one increasingly fears the death of a system
which is getting so old, but I have two systems nearly as old running
for years without hardware problems.
The questions I must ask are:
- How uptodate is the Gentoo software?
- Do you run updates regularly?
- Did you run any shortly before this started occurring?
- Have you run revdep-rebuild and stuff?
- Does the system have sufficient swap?
