As I posted earlier: ---------- Here is what I have done: 1.) Disable Network controller on the motherboard and install another one on PCI bus - this eliminate possible IRQ conflict. But it didn't help. 2.) Removed the heatsink clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol and applied thin layer of new heatsink grease. Nothing helped, still getting that message: Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interupt handler. Next option, is to try to remove SATA drive and try to install Gentoo on standard IDE drive; this would eliminate SCSI problem and/or buggy driver. ----------- If the IDE drive will not solve the problem I'll try as you suggest that "arctic silver compound" (or just run that useless box only during Winter - here in Edmonton sometimes it gets down to -40C it might help :-> I'm simply running out of ideas.
