Well, somewhere deep in the BIOS peripheral settings, there are things like "Enable AGP Fast Write" or similar. Set all those things to Off or Disabled. You wil want stability first, speed maybe later. It probably won't make a difference, but it at least excludes one possible source of problems. > System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Sempron(tm) Processor > 2500+ You've said you have an MSI K8M800 motherboard. Looking at http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_list.asp?class=mb&cpu=3, such boards only support "Sempron 2600+, 2800+, 3000+, 3100+, 3300+", not a 2500+. This may not be a problem, but then again, it might not be listed for a reason. > real samba sdl sndfile snmp spell ssl svg sysvipc tcpd tiff till No "sse" USE flag?
