Hi!

I am trying to install several games from an installer and, during some of the installs (not always the same, seems pretty random) the emulator completely freezes.

Even more, I cannot completely kill the processes... I have to restart X to get rid of the window it creates.

I also have to restart the computer, or else I get periodic CPU lockups during normal system aplications (such as writing this).

Anyone can help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

Check your video card driver and your compilation options in /etc/make.conf. I myself had problems using some driver versions, certain options and/or miscompiled code due to too much optimization (though the latter has not happened for a long time). (I'm using ATI hardware. I think the nvidia driver is as crappy.)

I am using the latest nvidia drivers, installed through portage...

as per optimization flags, here is what I have:

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

not too much stuff here... see anything?
