I've tried three times last night to build the latest version of openoffice (1.0.2) with my 2.4.19r10 version of gentoo-sources running. Each time, the machine would totally crash. The error message was something about the killing the interrupt handler. Unfortunately, this happened very early in the morning and I forgot to write down all of the errors before rebooting my machine. :-( I don't know if this is just my problem, or what, but I thought I'd report it in case anybody else is having the problem. I haven't tried to build anything else since, but I've been doing daily emerge -u worlds without a hitch until last night. I'll attach my kernel config file and the log of the building process. Please let me know if I can provide any more information. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Currently have openoffice 1.0.1-r3 installed. 1. emerge -u openoffice Actual Results: Kernel panic (interrupt handler killed). Expected Results: Installed the new version of openoffice on my machine.

this doesn't look like an openoffice issue....you might have some bunk hardware or something...i know its a pain to do, but you think you could get the text of the kernel panic ? sometimes the best way to do it is to copy it down by hand :/ then with that text file, run ksymoops on it, to see where the kernel is panicing... how much swap space, etc. do you have? you might be hitting a memory limit or something....i'm gonna pass this off to lostlogic, as it clearly isn't related to openoffice. (i know it only happens with openoffice, but it probably has something to do with the loads that compiling openoffice creates....) seth
Would it be possible for you to test (assuming you find no hardware faults) on kernel gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 please?
Okay, I tried a couple of different things. First, I wiped out /usr/portage/distfiles. I don't think this really helped since the old attempts at building passed the md5sum tests as well. Secondly, I left the "emerge" process un-"nice"d. This time OpenOffice was able to build just fine. This is much more likely to be the workaround, since the problem was with the interrupt handler. As happy as I am to have figured this out and have all of the new code on my machine, I am extremely curious to find out why doing "nice -19 emerge -u world" causes a kernel panic. Thanks.
Steve, did you submit a kernel bug report? Follow the directions in linux/REPORTING-BUGS
no, please do NOT file a kernel bug report. If a kernel bug report needs filing, we will file it. Our kernel is heavily patched from the ones released on kernel.org, and bugs in it shoudl NOT be reported directly to the kernel developers.
Hi all. I have the same problem. I get kernel panic when trying to emerge OpenOffice 1.0.2. I use gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 kernel. Kernel crashes every time I try to emerge OO. I think I'll try same with vanilla kernel. I have picture of screen dump in here --> http://www.kyamk.fi/~ohj8maha/Kuvia/KernelPanic.jpg
well, this does not seem to be an issue with 2.4.20-r5...
