I'm playing amarok, aMule an Pidgin( Hotmail, Yahoo and Freenode) is up and open a gnome-terminal, I do a su - and emerge phpmyadmin, after 2 seconds I hear the swapping of the hard disk and all apps are hang, a lot off swapping for a loop. Cannot stop with CTRL+C and cannot do anything that reset the PC. There is a five twice that it's happend the same with emerging other ebuilds. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open gnome-terminal and su - 2.emerge something 3.hang /var/log/ebuild.log ... after emerge --sync it's ok 1221775206: *** emerge --quiet sync 1221775206: === sync 1221775206: >>> Starting rsync with rsync://134.68.220.97/gentoo-portage 1221775232: >>> Starting retry 1 of 3 with rsync://91.186.30.235/gentoo-portage 1221775476: === Sync completed with rsync://91.186.30.235/gentoo-portage 1221775529: *** terminating. 1221846703: Started emerge on: Sep 19, 2008 19:51:43 ---<<<<<<------Here I do the emerge phpmyadmin 1221846703: *** emerge phpmyadmin 1221846735: >>> emerge (1 of 3) app-admin/webapp-config-1.50.16-r3 to / 1221848026: Started emerge on: Sep 19, 2008 20:13:46 ---<<<<<<------It's hang with no data reset and after do some full susefully emerge's #

The hangs might be due to bad drivers for your HD controller. Can you post your kernel's .config file?
What are your MAKEOPTS ? I have 2 GB and MAKEOPTS="-j2" results in ~150 MB free RAM (emerging gcc, etc.) according to /proc/meminfo. Also, does the hang happen right after the message "Regenerationgs /etc/ld.so.cache" ?

No, it's happend just doing the emerge ... command that swap and swap and don't show any output. :-( I "belive", it can be for haven't swap activated. This could be the problem. I recently reinstall from scracth the system do it for a system file permiss problem and miss to put the mdadm.conf conf file ) from 4 years ago that I have Gentoo up and running. I have de swap partition in a raid0 too.

If the swap is off, and no free memory are there emerge can fail?
(In reply to comment #11) > If the swap is off, and no free memory are there emerge can fail? > (In reply to comment #11) > If the swap is off, and no free memory are there emerge can fail? >
From my own experience, the newer versions of GCC (>=4.1) can easily use more then 1GB of RAM while compiling some C++ sources on AMD64. So unless you can get more RAM expect swap to be used intensely while building some packages.
The times you run out of memory is when you should consider investing in more RAM - this isn't a problem software can fix.
