Cool, so it isn't hardware (hopefully). How to I downgrade my kernel?

I can't even get 2.6.21 to compile. I was getting unhappy about that, but perhaps I've been looking at it the wrong way? ----- Original Message ---- From: Dustin C.

It was really bad when I upgraded to 2.6.21. I downgraded back to 2.6.20-r4 and I haven't had near the problems. I am not sure what it is, but you aren't the only one with that problem.

I've used gentoo before, and not once has it crashed meaninglessly. First, I think I was listing a directory, and it totally froze, and then the second time I was unzipping a bzipped archive of the latest kernel sources and it came to a dead halt. I had to hard reboot the machine, it wasn't fun. I'm starting to get worried, especially since if it can't handle a little tar.bz2 file, then it certainly can't emerge anything. I'm sure you'll be wanting some logs, and I'll get them to you next time I boot gentoo. I've got 2 gig of RAM, and a dual core processor, so those aren't the problem, and my hard drive has plenty of free space (talking gigs here), so that's not it either. It sounds like it's something really obvious that I'm overlooking, but I don't understand how it could just stop. Even the normal clicking associated with the processor "thinking" just halts. Isn't that weird? -Peter -- Dustin C. Hatch http://www.dchweb.com
