My laptop has been doing weird stuff lately. I built it a while ago from Gentoo 2006.0 Stage 3, and every now and again it would turn off while compiling something (usually if I had to upgrade glibc). I was just trying to update mythtv and it crashed so I decided to level it and start from scratch. I installed Gentoo 2006.1 Stage 3 and it's doing the same thing. I went down to Stage 2 and I'm still having a problem. I've done memtest in the past with clean results, but I'm stuck because I don't know what the error is. While building a few minutes ago I forgot to turn on swap space and it ran out of memory before crashing (turning off). Is there anything I can do aside from piping the output to a file to capture what the problem might be (tried it, not much help)? Has anybody had similar problems with gcc / glibc? Thanks in advance Eric
