Finally I was able to emerge KDE, it really took a lot of time. Though, looking at the motherboard's ASUS A8V IRQ setting: They put a lot of devices on IRQ5: skge - network controller libata - I think this is sata ATA controller ethci_Hcd:usb2, usb2 VIA8237 - sound ship No wonder I'm having problem (and some others) with Sata Drive, if it is sharing an IRQ with so many devices. In comparison IDE controller have all their own IRQ's Primary IRQ 14 and Secondary IRQ 15 -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
