I was planning to take the drive out and use it for something else but never got around to it. Before that I played with LVM a bit. So far, I have upgraded gcc and glibc and the emerge -e world is almost finished. If it still locks up, I'm going to try a different xorg and friends. Someone else mentioned a bug that is pretty close to what I have going on. I'm going to fix this even if I don't know for sure what caused it. If after this emerge it works, it has to be either gcc or glibc. If it still does it and I upgrade/downgrade xorg and friends then it works, then I know it was one of those. I'm just hoping for a fix and glad I got Fluxbox on here. Fluxbox ain't fancy but it works well for a backup.. I have to add, it is pretty snappy on a 4 core 3.2Ghz CPU with 16Gbs of ram too. lol Dale :-) :-)
