Hi.

Thanks for your responses.
I have attached the dmesg output for my attempt at the XFS kernel.
I have tried to build a kernel with just the basic options, but I have not had any 
success. Maybe someone has a link to a .config I should try ?? As I stated before I 
have seen my kernels boot up running ok, but upon reboot things go back to being slow 
:(

Just sitting in X now my CPU is at 20%-70%  running Enlightenment, gkrellm, Sylpheed 
and top in an Eterm.

I have been trying to get gentoo running on this machine for nearly 2 months. I have 
gone through about 5 installs trying stage 1-3 until I have finally traced it to a 
kernel issue. I also have redhat 7.2 here which ran ok, but after running gentoo at 
home, nothing else is good enough :P

Thanks for your comments, any help in solving this is appreciated. 

Mick.
