I was running my box with xfs-sources-2.4.20-r4 when I recently upgraded to xfs-sources-2.4.24-r1 (which is not masked, so I think it should be stable). After I emerged, configured and compiled my kernel, I rebooted the system (to make sure it works) and then started to recompile the alsa-drivers again. That's where portage started to make problems. Note: I have downgraded to my previous kernel again, so I can not give you the exact error message - BUT: I found a post in the support forum which exactly describes the problem I had, so I've stolen the code snippets and error-messages from there. First I tried to emerge alsa: $ emerge alsa-drivers [...] Then I tried to emerge the nvidia-drivers $ emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx I got error messages similar to that one (you may have a look at that thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=137133&highlight=system+hosed&sid=e1f49c6b974374efaa65801215ab7045): root@hobbes andrew # emerge ati-drivers Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/ati-drivers-3.2.8 to / Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2599, in ? mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1551, in merge retval=portage.doebuild(y,"clean",myroot,self.pkgsettings,edebug,cleanup=1) File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 2157, in doebuild os.makedirs(mysettings["T"]) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py", line 154, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-3.2.8/temp' $ Note: Instead of ati-drivers, it said "alsa-drivers" or "nvidia-kernel" or <whatever-program-I-emerged>.

this should be fixed in xfs-sources-2.4.24-r3 that will be committed in the next hour or so
Uhm...well. You're right. It is fixed in xfs-sources-2.4.24-r3, but now I have another problem: My NIC is not working anymore. The module (e100) is loaded without errors at boot up, but * I can't ping any computer on the net (even in my own network) * when I type $ route I get no routing table and have to abort with Ctrl-C. I thought it could be an IRQ problem, so I tried to configure * with SMP (although I have an uniprocessor, but I prefer SMP instead of that APIC stuff because I got less problems with it in the past - not only on this box) * with local APIC and IO-APIC off * with local APIC and IO-APIC on Everytime the same result: No error messages, but also no network :( HINT: I downgraded to xfs-sources-2.4.20-r4 again and gathered the following information. -------------------------------------------------- Additional information: $ cat /proc/interrupts cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 77045

I remember that $ cat /proc/interrupts looks different with 2.4.24-r3. It said something that IRQ 10 was used by ACPI and the network card. I also remembered that there was a "*"-sign in front of IRQ 10 which shows up at the very, very beginning at the boot process in the first or second line...(I couldn't find the output in dmesg or so...) Would it help when I boot with the broken kernel again and give the exact results?
