I notice this starts but never does anything. I end up doing a ctrl c to stop it. I tried with two different versions of portage so I don't think it is portage itself.

This is one attempt: root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
