I have just emerged openrc-0.6.5. The system boots fine, but after a couple of minutes the load goes up and the machine becomes unresponsive (although I can still see gkrell or top). Reverting back to openrc-0.6.4 doesn't help. |

Hi, can you run htop for a while and when it happens, double check which process is eating your box. |

What from this makes you think it's a problem with OpenRC? _________________ My Wiki page |

It just shows load increase, there are no processes that take up more than 0% CPU. It spits out two call stack traces on the console (I am not running X) with just numbers (over the htop output) and shortly after that it becomes unresponsive, whilst I can still see the load increase on the screen. |

It started happening after I did emerge world which updated a single package, openrc. Last week I updated baselayout to 2 and it worked fine until this update two days ago. Reverting back to baslayout-1 doesn't look as straightforward. |

It seems that the problem was in converting the old module load list to /etc/conf.d/modules which was empty, so powernow-k8 was not being loaded at all (although all other modules that were in the old module load file are being hot-plugged in?) and the system was becoming overloaded after 5 or 10 minutes. I've stuck modules="powernow-k8" in /etc/conf.d/modules which seems to have done the trick.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions, especially introducing me to htop, a great little application. |
