|

My Gentoo system has started rebooting on its own, frequently. There doesn't seem to be anything interesting in /var/log/messages. How should I look into this? |

It is summer now (at least in the northern hemisphere); your PC might just overheat, so check temperatures. Also, try to run LiveGUI USB to make sure it isn't your system's fault. |

I moved the SSD to another system and the behavior is the same unfortunately. Both systems are quite cool to the touch. |

It looks like there might be a problem with the system or the SSD.
Cold to the touch might also mean overheating if there is a poor connection between a CPU and a heatsink, but since both machines are cool, it probably isn't. |

This started happening after a fairly large emerge world update the other day so at this point I'm certain it's software. There must be some way to track it down? I would try a newer kernel but the system won't even stay up long enough to compile it. |

I had a "few times" similar issue when something broke after a system update, and I didn't know which package caused that. Run genlop -l and check what has been updated since the last time your system was working flawlessly, and mask them. Downgrade everything Portage wants. Now, make sure your system is stable, then start unmasking and updating packages and testing if your system is stable. After updating some packages, it might be necessary to reboot your machine.
This method always worked for me. If by change this "fairly large emerge world update" was emerge --emptytree @world after changing profile, I think it would be better to restore the system from backup and do emerge --emptytree @world a few packages at the time. |

Did that recent large update include a new kernel? If so, start by dropping back to the kernel from before the update. |
