you made before these problems started?
I usually have a backup but I got rid of it a month or so ago. I was
planning to take the drive out and use it for something else but never
got around to it. Before that I played with LVM a bit.
So far, I have upgraded gcc and glibc and the emerge -e world is
almost finished. If it still locks up, I'm going to try a different
xorg and friends. Someone else mentioned a bug that is pretty close
to what I have going on.
I'm going to fix this even if I don't know for sure what caused it.
If after this emerge it works, it has to be either gcc or glibc. If
it still does it and I upgrade/downgrade xorg and friends then it
works, then I know it was one of those.
I'm just hoping for a fix and glad I got Fluxbox on here. Fluxbox
ain't fancy but it works well for a backup.. I have to add, it is
pretty snappy on a 4 core 3.2Ghz CPU with 16Gbs of ram too. lol

If you ever see me in person, kick me real hard. I read your reply then
had a thought. I forgot to switch to the new compiler BEFORE I started
the emerge. So, I almost recompiled everything with the same gcc. At
least your reply made me think of it. ;-)

P. S. I feel like a idiot. What a NOOB mistake.
