The aacraid module on 1.4rc2 wouldn't even let me unpack stage3 tar ball without >>> file truncate: Input/output error With 1.4rc4 I was able to unpack stage3 and finish an install But an emerge -e world resulted in: gcc: Internal error: Bus error (program as) Please submit a full bug report.

(no error message) >>> file truncate: Input/output error The kernel I compiled has everything I enabled as static no modules. It's pretty much default gentoo-sources, except for: aacraid ext3 tg3 (network)
gs-sources-2.4.21_rc2.ebuild and ac-sources-2.4.21_rc4-r1.ebuild both have this problem Newer versions are in CVS today, will test those
ac-sources-2.4.21_rc6-r1.ebuild and gs-sources-2.4.21_rc6.ebuild also have the problem I disabled RAID, and used aic7xxx driver and the problem went away So I'm possitive it's a problem with aacraid I will try to get more info so that this bug can be moved upstream
both those kernels have since been removed from portage and should be fixed in newer ones
