Mmmm...perhaps you're right. Honestly I didn't think to overheating probs. But it sounds quite strange. Fan only starts when the temperature goes too high and in all compiling process it starts very rarely. I've also used it under freebsd and debian without problems and in more onerous conditions. However I will observe the temperature of the processor in order to remove every doubt. I'd want also to investigate about architecture setting in make.conf. In AMD site it seems obvious that my processor (AMD k6 -3D @ 475 mhz) is a K6-2, but I haven't found references about architecture. I remember that when I bought it, in the reviews not all agree to classify the K6-2 like equivalent to a pentium 2, even if AMD sponsored it in this way. For someone, it was still be a 586 class processor. Therefore I'll retry to compile all stage1 changing architecture setting from 686 to 586. It would be interesting find indications on the GCC site, but I didn't find nothing. Does anyone with a presario as mine has happily installed Gentoo from stage1?
