 Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:51 am Post subject: (SOLVED!!!) System freezes with every emerge |
 |
|
My install was running fine until this weekend my computer frooze every time I emerged something. i figured I fubared my system and reinstalled Gentoo. I emerged Gnome and all was fine until suddenly my system frooze again during an emerge (and now it happens each time)  ( my system even freezed when I chroot from the live cd and emerge something).
SOLVED!!!
The problem was that I placed a symlink to /opt/thinkingrock in /usr/local/bin I named the executable conveniently the same as the original namely: 'tr'. I never realized that 'tr' was also a program used by portage  I discovered the culprit when 'top' suddenly flooded with the 'tr' process.
Update:
Since changing memory and hard drives didn't solve this I suspect this problem is somehow caused by (my (mis)configuration) of Gentoo.

Run memtest for checking your memory.

You're out of swap. Perhaps your swap partition is bad?
| Code: |
Jun 9 13:16:30 Zenpc Free swap = 0kB
Jun 9 13:16:30 Zenpc Total swap = 979924kB
Jun 9 13:16:30 Zenpc Free swap: 0kB

I diabled my swap partition but the problem remains. I think it's strange in the first place that I run out of (1GB!) swap space with 2 GB memory

Hi,
I diabled my swap partition but the problem remains. I think it's strange in the first place that I run out of (1GB!) swap space with 2 GB memory [/quote]
The system reserve swap space even it don't use it yet.
I had this same behavior recently and it was the memory card which was working great since 2 years.
Try to change it even your test say it's ok. |

Thanks for the suggestion, I suspect, though that the problem isn't memory related. I did a fresh install and this problem didn't show yet.

If I am reading this correctly it looks like my hard disk is broken.
