|
|
Yesterday I decided to install Gentoo from stage 1, and when I got everything compiled (including the kernel), I rebooted and compiled Xfree86 through the night. When I woke up to test it, it froze my machine. I tried different Video Drivers (from Vesa to NVidia), and I tried recompiling XFree86, but it still doesn't work right.
There are no errors in the log file.
This didn't happen on a Stage 3 built system that I had a couple days ago that was working.
For those who may ask, the computer specs are as following:
ABit NF7 nForce2 MotherBoard
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512MB of DDR Ram
NVidia GeForce 4 Ti4400
Creative Sound Blaster LIVE! Value
a Davicom NIC
Any solutions? I am not using any of the on-board stuff (NIC, Audio). |

Did you recompile it with different flags? I'd suspect that wrong/over optimisation of your CFLAGS is causing this. A "O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" shoul be enough (assuming you have an AMDXP processor of course). |

Sorry for bringing this back up, but the problem has occured again.
I have tried two different Compile Flags, one that was posted in this thread, and one that is an example in the make.conf file.
Again from Stage 1, but last time that I had done it on a Stage 3 system, same thing happened even with no compile flags.
System specs still the same as the ones posted in this thread. |
