Hey! How about emerging gcc while NOT being in KDE or even X?

You should also check that there is plenty of space on the partition
where /var resides.

 Hello,

 I try to compile gcc 4.1 on my gentoo 2.16-r9. During compilation my machine
 is stopped.
 I doesn't get error message in messages log, emerge log or dmesg...

 Strange...Could you know this problem ?

 It sounds like faulty memory to me.

 Run memtest86 for a day or two -- or at least overnight.

I've also seen problems like that caused by a bad sector in a
swap partition and a bad disk controller card/cable. Since it's
a laptop, another possibility is overheating due to faulty
fan-speed control.

IMO, there's a 95% or better chance it's a hardware problem.

RAM is the easiest to test (and the easiest to fix), so start
there.

That's one solution. If you can't emerge gcc whilst in KDE and/or X11
on recent hardware, however, I'd suggest that's pathological and more
likely to result in storing up more problems for later. Far better to
get it fixed. And then of course there's the question of whether the
reboots will still happen even if you AREN'T running X.


You should also check that there is plenty of space on the partition
where /var resides.



Good advice

Jeff
