* complaine about my system hanging while re-building glibs.
As it turned out, switching DMA off with hdparm cured the problem. So, now I''m
turning it off for very long compilations and then back on. Evidently, something
is buggy, but its mor for kernel-devel or asus support list.
* how to get Large File support working without rebuilding glibc (2.4 kernel)
The problem was in reiserfs. Some howto-s don't mention that you have to
re-mount reiserfs 3.5 partitions with -conv option (after that they don't work
with 2.2 kernels any more) to enable > 2Gb file support.
