[gentoo-user] issues.

Here are the issues I'm currently having.

1. Grub2 menu DOES NOT ACCEPT KEYBOARD INPUT!

-- Upgraded my ram to 64gb, couldn't run memtest because grub2 is broken.


2. My current combination of Linux-Headers-5.2, kernel 5.2 and nvidia
drivers is UNSTABLE and crashes X11 to command line when the steam
client updates itself, breaking my long running number theory code, lost
about 2 days of work so far. Actually, when this happens the command
line is garbled and I have to issue "reset" to gain control again.

(current status:

0x1b39b15000000000000000000000000000000000
220102120012110100111001221102210220020212112012022020002010201222120120022111112110220000200210212_3
)

When either of those numbers rolls over, the program will leave the
inner loop and the outer loop will increment, the problem essentially
grows exponentially and will run very fast for small i, but when it gets
up to 49.... well it takes many months...) A threadripper might be able
to handle the i=50 block, I don't expect to find a number until the i=51
block... The last number I found is:
24014998963383302600955162866787153652444049

The weird thing is that all the numbers this code has found were done
with a Phenom II, 1090T. My Ryzen 1800x hasn't found a single new number
despite being 3x faster.
