Hi Thanasis,
this message is from emerge /portage:
grep -r "alarm signal" /usr/lib64/portage/*
Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyo matches
Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyc matches
/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.py: raise
AlarmSignal("alarm signal",
This one matches your one minute:
/usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/elog/mod_mail_summary.py:
AlarmSignal.register(60)
Look like a timeout during mail sending to me. You have probably elog
mail sending configured in make.conf and your mailserver is borked.
HTH,
Matthias
