What you describe may be a hardware problem, but it could also be related to the kernel options enabled in the Live-USB media. I've had some MoBos overheating when booting with one Live media OS, but not another. Chroot-ing was OK, but trying to build anything thereafter ended up in overheating and a crash. I suggest you try some other Live-USB and see if the problem persists. You can install Gentoo from any Live-CD/DVD/USB, you don't need to restrict yourself to the Gentoo offering. Essentially you're looking for a kernel with more options for the CPU scheduler.
Alternatively, you could try setting a max CPU frequency in the scheduler before you kick off with any resource intensive installation step and see if this works for you. Check for the options to tweak under: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq On Sunday, 17 April 2022 16:06:56 BST Jude DaShiell wrote: > I have had several system crashes trying a gentoo install. > These crashes involve the loss of speakup and no capability to resurrect > speakup either. > Further to that, when the system is shutdown it cannot be restarted > without use of the reset button additional to the power button. > When I take my finger off the reset button, the fan inside the computer > speeds up and the system dies again with the fan turning off. > It could be I have hardware problems over here and will have to replace > this system soon. > Most recent crash happened after opening links on the gentoo page itself. > So far, gentoo is the only flavor of linux used around here that crashes > my hardware like that.
