Hi all, may the solution be so trivial? (I hope so! :-D this can make your gentoo working soon! :-) Almost one year ago I helped a friend of mine to get a working gentoo linux box on an Acer Ferrari (AMD 64). . I was surprised because it was so slow when I tried to emerge something! :-D Finally I found the DMA was off...can U believe? :-D check it making:
#hdparm /dev/hda | grep using_dma if it's set to 0 (off) we know our enemy! :-D 2006/8/4, jai kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all, I am new to Gentoo. I have installed gentoo firstly in may (but was not succeded to get my X working ). So that time I gave up gentoo and turned to Ubuntu. Yesterday I have successfully installed gentoo Amd64 2006.0 on my comp with X working successfully but problem is that whenever when i do a "emerge programname" my system get very slow (Even mouse didn't react). I am unable to figure out the problem. Waiting for your help. Thank You. ~jaiks ________________________________ Here's a new way to find what you're looking for - Yahoo! Answers
