I have installed gentoo as a host on a vmware virtual machine.
The virtual machine hangs after running a few hours, I'm running a webserver, ftp server and a mail server
I have tried using kernel 2.6 and now I'm using 2.4 and same results
Is there something related to the kernel configuration that may cause this hangs?
Already tried disableling apm support
This is my cpu info
| Code: | processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 11
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family 1133MHz
stepping : 8
cpu MHz : 1130.983
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips : 2254.43
|
and this are my flags
| Code: | CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
USE="-X -qt -gtk -gtk2 -java mmx sse apache2 pam ssl -cups -gpm -ldap -samba"
|
Any ideas what can be causing this hangs? |

For something like VMware you are better off leaving the flags blank and letting GCC figure it out.

| So, the problem is not the kernel, could be some app? |

You need to understand how VMware works. VMware does not duplicate your hardware for the guest OS. VMware emulates hardware using rules writen by VMware developers. The emulated hardware will not exactly match your physical hardware.

the cpuinfo of my first post is the one of the simulated machine, in that case, what would you recommend to use? i686 optimizations, pentium3 or none? and for the kernel, anything that i should know about?
(excuse my english please, I hope you understand) |

You can check the VMware documentation or the vmware news groups but I would try without any optimization flags.
