I did an "emerge kdebase" and then went somewhere (39 dependencies to download and install, so i didn't stick around). When I came back, this is what I saw: *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#2] CPU: 0 EIP: 0060: [<c02d9826>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010082 EIP is at uhci_unlink_generickt 0x36/0x160 eax: 00000000 ebx: cfde8cc0 ecx: 00000086 edx: 00000000 esi: cfccc450 edi: c393000 ebp: c1393000 esp: c81dbef0 ds: 007b es: 07b ss: 0068 Process cc1plus (pid: 1991, threadinfo=c81da000 task=ce113290) Stack: c1393000 cfde8cc0 00000000 cd2f2100 cd2f2120 ce187ec0 00000001 cfcce450 cd2f2100 cfde8cc0 cfccc450 c1393000 c02d9697 c1393000 cfde8cc0 00000000 00000282 00000286 c13931d8 c13931d8 c1393000 c81dbfc4 c02da0d1 Call Trace: [<c02d9697>] uhci_transfer_result+0x97/0x1f0 [<c02da0d1>] uhci_irq+0xc1/0x160 [<c02c9276>] usb_hcd_irq+0x36/0x70 [<c0109d8a>] handle_IRQ_event+0x3a/0x70 [<c010b101>] do_IRQ+0x91/0x130 [<c0109588>] common_interrupt+0x18/0x20 Code: 8b 44 24 1c 8b 54 24 1c 83 c0 10 89 44 24 20 8b 6a 10 39 c5 <0>Kernel panic: Fatal expception in interrupt In interrupt handler - not syncing I am running an Athlon XP processor, 256MB RAM and kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-r1 Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: However, the next time i ran "emerge kdebase", it produced a whole other list of errors not listed here :( (computer died, couldn't get the #'s) Actual Results: I received a lot of errors.

This is a kernel problem and from the oops I see that it's related to your USB UHCI interface. So I think it doesn't have anything to do with emerge, kde or any other program. Bye!
This is a kernel issue. Hm, and a usb issue. Could you open a bug in bugzilla.kernel.org for it? I will assign it to the proper person there (only do this if you are willing to build a kernel.org kernel, and not a gentoo kernel package.) Hm, actually, you are using an old kernel. Care to try 2.6.4? This might already be fixed in there.
I shall mark as fixed since there was no reply. if you still experience issues please re-open and state which kernel versions thanks for logging this.
