My AMD64 computer freezes after a couple of hours of "emerge -e world". The only way that my computer works is after Alt+SysRq+B (Alt+SysRq+S hangs indefinitely). The problem is that this causes significant filesystem corruption, i.e breaking the toolchain. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -e world 2. Wait a while Actual Results: The computer froze. Expected Results: The emerge should have continued. Kernel: 2.6.26.5-rt9 Gcc: 4.3.1-r1 Glibc: 2.8_p20080602
I'm sure it's not freezing, but overheating.
It could be overheating, but I know it's not the CPU. Same thing happened *after* doing cpufreq-set -g powersave. Due to the data corruption, maybe the ATI-IXP SB400 is overheating. I forgot to mention that this happens at the end of emerging a package (i.e. after the "--- replaced obj ..." messages). "hdparm -d1u1 /dev/hda" does nothing with regards to the freezing. The only thing that works is typing, showing that keyboard<->framebuffer isn't dead ... yet.
