Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Hardware Problems causing kernel panics during large compiles

Well after a couple hours of trying to get the Radeon HD3300 to
actually start properly so I can test the compilation...... I haven't
done it yet.  Instead I decided to go ape-s**t on the radeon wiki
article which drove me into so many dead ends.

Now that it's up and running, I'm recompiling chromium from inside
gnome 3 with -j5 and I'll report in tomorrow morning.
