This is an informational message and would only be worrisome if it reported 0 bytes left. You can switch if off by disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE in the kernel. Some ebuilds, I have chromium in mind here, can chew up all your RAM and then start thrashing swap continuously. To make matters worse in pre-empting this, they only do it for a few versions, then revert to better managed memory usage. On a box with 4G RAM I set MAKEOPTS="-j2 -l2" for such troublesome packages and swap usage is kept within normal limits. I think the message "[drm] HPD interrupt storm" refers to some old kernel bug, but it could be a regression. Which kernel are you using? -- Regards, Mick
