Hey all. |
2 |
|
3 |
Gentoo Linux AMD64 - running pretty sweet - except, I've noticed that |
4 |
even under minimal loads, my system seems to have mini-lockups |
5 |
frequently. For instance, when downloading a mere 10 emails, my system |
6 |
seems to choke - to the point where I can't even move my mouse for a |
7 |
good 10 seconds or so. Opening a gnome-terminal is painful - sometimes, |
8 |
apps make the desktop freeze for a good 20-30 seconds. I did a large |
9 |
emerge last night using the gnome-terminal, and it rendered my Gnome |
10 |
desktop almost completely frozen. |
11 |
|
12 |
Any idea what might be causing this, and what steps I should take to |
13 |
troubleshoot this? The best I can tell, the problem seems to be hard |
14 |
drive related, as it does a lot of chewing before the app finally let's |
15 |
rip. The hard drive is an IDE, not SATA as you might expect from the |
16 |
info below. Other than these strange mini-lockups, my system is buzzing |
17 |
right along at a good clip! |
18 |
|

Thanks! |
