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.
