After the last round of updates, which was mostly Qt & gtk+ my system |
2 |
has been locking up after a while. On the last occasion I had 'top' |
3 |
running & it showed nothing unusual. |
4 |
|
5 |
It was mind blowingly difficult to install/rebuild gtk+ as configure |
6 |
said pango was not installed, |
7 |
& continued to say that after pango was remerged. I eventually had to |
8 |
remerge cairo, openal, & some others before it would install. |

After about 5 forced poweroffs & reboots after freezes, my bzImage |
11 |
gave CRC error & would not boot. I built another kernel (2.6.26 gentoo |
12 |
r4 from memory). This fixed numerous other problems I have been |
13 |
having, however the system still locked up. |
14 |
|
15 |
During the freeze I can still move the cursor around but not select |
16 |
anything & the keyboard does nothing. |
17 |
|
18 |
I'm going to start looking at memory tests and hard drive tests. |
19 |
|
20 |
I've never had this problem before & I don't really know how to track |
21 |
it down, other then by ruling out 1 thing at a time. |
22 |
|
23 |
I had the system up in single user mode for quite a long time, while |
24 |
building the kernel config & looking up kernel settings on a windows |
25 |
computer (which I'm using now). As soon as I start X/KDE its only a |
26 |
few mniutes before it hangs, |
27 |
so I suspect a bug in Qt, since it was the main upgrade. |
