I'm suspecting rather IDE transfer corruption under load. |
| 10 |
A good datapoint would be if the IDE disk is using DMA or |
| 11 |
PIO mode, and if DMA to retry the emerge with DMA disabled. |
| 12 |
Also, there are other funky IDE feature optimization settings |
| 13 |
that might now be safe on those Ultra5/10 CMD64x IDE chips. |

I seem to remember Gentoo turned on all the fancy IDE features |
| 16 |
via hdparm on bootup on sparc64 boxes, correct me if I'm wrong. |
