Top shows CC taking about 50% or in that vacinity... nothing else of note is running. But man I've been at this for 3 days, or so. Created at least 6 different kernels and none will get me booted... either I get a panic and root cannot be mounted, or the screen goes black shortly after grub screen... and nothing more happens. I've tried 3.0.4 and backed up to 2.6.39* ... all this on a machine that has run gentoo for several yrs. And I'm not a complete greenhorn either. There must be some other source of problem I don't know about is all I can think... I'm on the verge of copying an OS off the livecd and using that kernel... this is just ridiculous.
