I have installed Gentoo 2005.1 and I have a problem each 4-5 computer reboots :

Gentoo boot normally until it tries to start agetty : agetty respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes. Then I have to do a hard reboot because I can do nothing. When gentoo reboot, I have a kernel panic which says something like "not syncing VFS". I reboot another time and it start normally but find errors on the file systems. When errors are corrected, I reboot and all is OK. From there, I can shutdown and reboot my system normally for 4-5 times before the problem restart again.

I hope someone can help me, else I have to change for another linux distrib. I don't think that is a hard drive problem.

I use the kernel 2.6.14-r2, and my fstab looks like this (I don't have a /boot partition since I already have 8 partitions):

Code:

/dev/hda3      /         ext3   noatime         1 2
/dev/hda5      /home         ext3    defaults,noatime        0 0
/dev/hda6      /usr/local      ext3    defaults,noatime        0 0
/dev/hda8               /mnt/datafat32          vfat    umask=000          0 0
proc         /proc         proc   defaults      0 0
shm         /dev/shm      tmpfs   nodev,nosuid,noexec   0 0
/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy      auto   user,noauto      0 0
/dev/hdd                /media/cdrom            auto    user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc                /media/cdrecorder       auto    user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
