I have a problem with my PC too since I recently ran etc-update (Gentoo). At start-up I see heaps of lines flashing past saying modprobe: can't locate module /dev/ttySxx
In my terminal program I get bash-2.05b$ where I used to get (I think) [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have not been able to compile on this machine using distcc on another so I would like to see what I am doing wrong there as well. I could bring it tonight I it could fit in.
