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.
