A good datapoint would be if the IDE disk is using DMA or PIO mode, and if DMA to retry the emerge with DMA disabled. Also, there are other funky IDE feature optimization settings that might now be safe on those Ultra5/10 CMD64x IDE chips. I seem to remember Gentoo turned on all the fancy IDE features via hdparm on bootup on sparc64 boxes, correct me if I'm wrong. -- [email protected] mailing list
