...I suspect hardware problems. Are you overclocking your CPU? Can you try switching the RAM?

I was downloading the stage 3 tarball and running out of room (RAM) because I wasn't downloading it to my hard drive...

make sure you cd /mnt/gentoo before "wget"ing the file (if that's what your doing)....

I have no clue what is wrong with that mashine even thoug i managed to install madnrake 9 on it without any problems. I tryed unpacking tarball on other system and it works fine. so there has to eb something else.

The Gentoo installation process, especially from stage 1, is one of the most demanding things you can do to computer hardware. It will reveal hardware problems that would go completely unnoticed installing and using Mandrake. However, if you use this computer long enough, you will likely see random lockups and crashes, and so it's always a good idea to try to eliminate these problems as soon as you can.
