Most newer bios' have it set to - AUTO, which should switch it into 32-bit, aka LBA mode. Probably under - Integrated Peripherals. It may also say something like - IDE Primary MASTER UDMA Auto. > Previously as was able to compile only few packages running for 20min > before crashing. > Now, I was able to keep compiling for about 2-hours before kernel panic > showed up. > >From what you've said, I think it might be useful to remove the cpu heatsink and check the state of the thermal material. Look to see if the cpu is in full contact with it. The downside to doing this is the thermal material is single use only. You'll need some alcohol to remove the material, after inspecting, then some decent Thermal compound to replace it. While it's been shown not to make a lot of difference in the short run, I tend to prefer the Artic Silver products because they are stable over time. The normal white grease drys out as do some others. The single use thermal pads are fine and generally work well. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
