Ah, yes. I forgot that he talked about turning that on. I've never
used the option myself so it didn't enter my thinking.
OK, so I guess we're down to thinking this is just the same old
problem with this machine? What a drag to do all this stuff and then
make no headway!
I think it would be helpful at this point to see emerge --info and the
sort of stuff I outlined earlier. What else can we do?
There still exists the possibility of a bad piece of hardware. A
defective GPU, thermal issues on a motherboard in a system built at
home, etc.
I also think that a network debug console of some time might be
instructive if Dale is up to getting it operating.
