When emergins certain things the system will stall and I have to do a hard-reboot. Ghostscript is mainly the cause although other emerges do the same such as MPlayer. Mplayer stalls on something else though I do not know where off the top of my head. Gnome stall on Ghostscript, along with Mplayer, and XFCE stalling on something else Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge Gnome 2.Wait for a minute or two 3.Press reset button on the machine itself Actual Results: After performing the steps above I am forced to hard reboot the system with no prevail in ever getting all of Gnome installed. Expected Results: Gnome should have been installed Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/amd64/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Mar 4 2005, 20:56:19)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acpi alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt curl dvd eds esd fam flac font-server fortran gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkspell imlib ipv6 java jp2 jpeg junit lzw lzw-tiff mad mozilla mp3 ncurses nls ogg opengl oss pam perl png python qt readline sdl spell ssl tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales vorbis xine xml2 xmms xpm xrandr xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I can provide any other information asked for, even the exact but by sshing into this machine from another.
Hmm, you should check your hardware, not much we could do about this I'm afraid. See Bug 20600.
