Re: [gentoo-user] Machine freezes during gcc compile

[Don Jerman]

It appears there are still apic issues under x86_64 SMP, so look at
noapic if you continue to have hangups (you may have this AND heat
problems).

Also look at the AMD_64 architecture forums at gentoo.org.  I'm not
familiar with the Acer peripherals but that forum helped me with my
HP9000z.
