Re: [coLinux-devel] Dual boot vs. coLinux setup

[morfic <mo...@bb...>]

Im very curious about the freezing part, im currently using gentoo in a 
10GB image since i have yet to manage to find a livecd (reg gentoo and 
knoppix fail to see the ricoh fireiwre adapter in this Sony laptop) to 
partition and format a 13GB area that is unused on my firewire drive, 
but back to the freezing i have problems when compiling in gentoo and 
after X number of packages my laptop simply shuts down.
My first thought was over heating, a thought i discarded since i was 
able to create more heat and for a longer time when repacking several 
images i used for colinux and wanted to have backed up since one of 
those shut downs rendered two images unusable before
you use -march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium4 which should elegantly give the 
most optimized gentoo for a P4 while not having to worry about 
-march=pentium4 now correctly generating code or not (a problem in the past)
i would like to point out i have had those shutdowns very frequent when 
using -march=pentium4 (i am trusting gcc 3.3.2 there) and still managed 
to get one since trying it all again with just -march=i686 -O2 
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe

if anyone else has problems with freezes and or shut downs on P4s i 
would like to hear about it
