While installing wine-0.9.15, my system (see output of emerge --info below) locked up so badly not even the SysRQ-Keys (Alt-SysRQ-S, Alt-SysRQ-K, Alt-SysRQ-B) worked anymore and I had to hard-reset the machine. After finding out that it's wine, I masked 0.9.15 to see if it's only in a given version, but 0.9.14 seemed to crash equally. Unfortunately, I couldn't switch to the emerge terminal anymore to find out about any error messages or even the last steps that were done. So.. here is the promised output of "emerge --info" atlantis ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mfpmath=sse -mcpu=k8 -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -frerun-loop-opt -msse2 -mmmx -O3 -pipe -fprofile-use" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-mfpmath=sse -mcpu=k8 -march=k8 -mtune=k8 -frerun-loop-opt -msse2 -mmmx -O3 -pipe -fprofile-use" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.solnet.ch http://mirror.uni-c.dk/gentoo/" LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/etc/portage/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 3ds X aavm acl acpi4linux alsa apache2 avi bindist bitmap-fonts bots browserplugin cdparanoia cli crypt dga dhcp dmx dri dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode ethereal fbcon flac foomaticdb fortran freetype gb gcj gif glut gpm gstreamer gtk2 gui hal imap imlib imlib2 innodb ipv6 isdnlog javascript jikes jpeg jpeg2k kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kerberos libgda lzw lzw-tiff maildir md5sum mng mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg4 music musicbrainz ncurses net nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia offensive oggvorbis openal opengl pam pcre pda pdf pdflib perl pg-hier pic png pnp posix pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection rtc scp sdl session sox spell spl ssl subversion svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v4l videos vim-pager visualization vorbis wmf xcomposite xfs xinerama xorg xpm xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
smells like a hardware/kernel problem either way, has nothing to do with wine
