This is the first time I can buildworld.sh without multiple reboots (it barfed once with a SIGSEGV but it was possible to continue without a reboot). However, the system seems to hang much more often, usually noticed while typing. Fewer reboots and often it hangs, I'm not sure which is worse, but waiting 5 minutes is preferable to waiting 20 minutes when logged in over the network. The problem seems unrelated to whether the user is logged in over the network, or has a local console login, it might even have nothing to do with user tty input. I have syscons 0.2 installed instead of pccons, but have no real reason to suspect it. What might be causing the kernel to hang? -- Adam D. (adam@veda.is)
