After the last round of updates, which was mostly Qt & gtk+ my system has been locking up after a while. On the last occasion I had 'top' running & it showed nothing unusual.
It was mind blowingly difficult to install/rebuild gtk+ as configure said pango was not installed, & continued to say that after pango was remerged. I eventually had to remerge cairo, openal, & some others before it would install. After about 5 forced poweroffs & reboots after freezes, my bzImage gave CRC error & would not boot. I built another kernel (2.6.26 gentoo r4 from memory). This fixed numerous other problems I have been having, however the system still locked up. During the freeze I can still move the cursor around but not select anything & the keyboard does nothing. I'm going to start looking at memory tests and hard drive tests. I've never had this problem before & I don't really know how to track it down, other then by ruling out 1 thing at a time. I had the system up in single user mode for quite a long time, while building the kernel config & looking up kernel settings on a windows computer (which I'm using now). As soon as I start X/KDE its only a few mniutes before it hangs, so I suspect a bug in Qt, since it was the main upgrade.
