[gentoo-user] Help needed for installing KDE

[Rajat Gujral]

Hi ,
 
I have downloaded image (Kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6) for x86 architecture from the gentoo website and complied the gentoo kernel for pentium 3 processor (coppermine). But while emering portages for gentoo, after compilation of KDE portage my computer hangs permanentally and nothing more is done after that. Everytime when i restart my computer and  emerge KDE,  it starts compilation from the same point . Also i keep getting DMA_INTR errors sometimes while installion . I have tried using -c option with mke2fs but the errors still keep coming . Is it because of that . Can anyone please help me and suggest what would be causing this problem and how can i carry on with the installation.
 
I was facing some compiler problem (i368 VS i686 ) which then was resolved by using fix_lib_tools . Is there something that i maybe missing as this is the first time i am installing gentoo.
 



Rgds & Thnx
