But again, it didn't lock up until AFTER I had a power failure. That

It sounds like you need to start with qcheck -aBT and trawl through the
output, re-emerging anything questionable.
This is what I got:
root@fireball / # qcheck -aBT
app-office/openoffice
sys-auth/consolekit
sys-auth/polkit
net-nds/openldap
app-misc/screen
net-print/cups
net-print/hplip
sys-apps/dbus
sys-apps/openrc
dev-db/mysql
kde-base/kdm
root@fireball / #
That hplip makes me wonder. I had issues with that thing before
causing freezes, not lock ups tho. I should have expected openoffice
to be on there tho. lol
Hmmm. What you think about that list? Anything look suspicious?

OK. I rebuilt all that . . . stuff plus a few others portage was
pitching a fit about. That would exclude openldap. See one of the
other threads on what happens when I try to compile that stuff. I'm
getting like Alan here. I'm tired and my nice shiny puter has a low
gloss spot. Grrrr. Anyway, I can compile again at least.
Let's think here. polkit, hplip really raises my eyebrows, dbus, mysql
are things that KDE uses and Fluxbox don't. I just wonder if one of
those could be corrupt or something. I use a slideshow for my
background. It usually locks up while setting up that thing. It scans
ALL the picture files or something. I assume it builds some sort of
data base which may use mysql. Still giving that hplip the evil eye
tho. I know for sure that caused issues in the past. I have had times
where I wanted to shoot that little . . . thing. lol
Still trying to finish the new install. I my not need it but still.
After it gets done, going to run memtest and try out that option 5. I
dunno either but I'm going to try it.
