after the last update world my emerge isnt running as well as it does before .-( it recieves the list of packages, starts to update the portage tree and while doing this, my computer freezes or reboots or cant do any harddisc action (which leads into freeze after some time). i removed my portage tree and try an emerge rsync but that has the same effect. all other things are working fine (a cant remember the last time my linux crashed :-)) ) maybe there is a bug in the new version of phyton which was updated. i hope someone can solve the problem..... thanks a lot, Thorben
please post #emerge info did you try reemerge portage ?
there is a new version in the portage tree of portage that i have imported now and emerge seems to work normally, but i have to delete my old tree (working on that, emerge crashed again). but there seems to be a more generally problem. i do some harddisk action. i copied my libs folder to a tmp and that works fine. but copying my etc folder to tmp the computer stops. so i get in my bios and configured it more "safe" and now copying is working fine. i am just wondering, why this "bug" appeared without changing something....but now all works, thanks for your fast response :-) Thorben
welp, if you say it works now ...
