If I execute lsmod or try mounting a drive, the command (lsmod or mount) goes into what seems an infinute loop taking up all the CPU time. I've tried reinstalling both modules-init-tools and util-linux, but it makes no difference. Process cannot be killed even with a kill -9 - only way is too reboot Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute lsmod or mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/drive 2. 3. Actual Results: command freezes and takes up all the CPU Expected Results: mount drive or show loaded modules Portage 2.0.51-r12 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.8 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Nov 25 2004, 20:40:13)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r2 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -pipe -w" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -mfpmath=sse -msse2 -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -pipe -w" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig candy ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex X aalib apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups divx4linux dvd dvdr encode f77 fam flac font-server foomaticdb gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww live mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nptl nptlonly oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline real scanner spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb x86 xine xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib"
I've fixed the problem. It was down to the OSS modules provided by OpenSound: http://www.opensound.com/ Re-installing the osslinux modules fixed the problem
