There was plenty of room there. It turned out to be something mechanical. I'm not really sure still exactly what but changing the ribbon connector from mobo to master and slave drives (one of which held tmp) seems to have fixed it. (at least for now) What got me looking at that was hearing the drive clicking after restarting kde compile. Not many but a few widely spaced that seemed wrong. Then in the coures of tinkering I noticed that on bootup hda was loosing its IRQ repeatedly. All seems to be ok now with the ribbon being changed out. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
