Hi Jorge,
can you do a remote login on your system with ssh?
I had a similar problem on a RedHat-System once: The system froze after some minutes but I could still do a remote login. I had to remove sound support to get rid of the problem :-(

Hello all,
My gentoo box now freezes systematically after 15m up or so. By freezing I mean no mouse nor keyboard reaction, no alt+ctrl+del, no virtual consoles. Only a hard reboot moves it. I hear a few beeps when this happens, suggesting some hardware problem, but the cpu was idle (not compiling nor anything like that, and top showed nothing special). This happens only with gentoo, not when I boot Redhat. The problem started after I installed a new disk (which has nothing to do with gentoo), but if the power source is not able to cope, then why only with gentoo?
Well, just in case something like this has already happened to some other unlucky person ...

Well, I can't do remote login, but I suppose I could mount the gentoo partition from the Redhat part and remove whatever after chroot'ing, but I wouldn't like to lose sound support (although I don't use it that much). But now that you mention it, I installed redhat8 on the new disk and had some trouble with sound configuration (strange vibrating noise from the subwoofer); it was solved atfer rebooting, with soundconfig. I have a Ensoniq sound card.
Could it it be that a solved problem with sound configuring in RH let a permanent sequel in gentoo?
The box has a 300w power source and two disks (40G+80G), a DVD drive, a RWCD drive, a floppy drive and a 250M iomega zip drive; no scsi devices. But all this stuff was idle except the disks ...
Maybe I should remerge some sound related ports...?
Thanks,

Maybe the problem is really just caused by the 2nd hd.
Is the new disk mounted by gentoo?
If yes, does the problem dissapear if you don't mount the new drive (or temporary remove it)?
Could be that gentoo uses different access mode to the drive than RedHat. Did you compare the boot logs?
