Hello,

I'm on my tenth iteration, or so, of this loop:

for (;;) {
        1) install
        2) sorcery update
        3) die during sorcery update (hard lock -- usually during glibc 
(loooong 
                compile; all in ram))
        4) sorcery/cast/etc hosed after reboot (spells gone -- from this 
point on       
                sorcery dies during Integrity check of spells)
}

I believe that it's either a) screen blanking wiggin' out by GeForce4 and 
causing kernel to lock or b) hard drive going to sleep and not waking up 
during long, ram based, compiles.

Does anyone know how to stop either or both of these things?  Or have other 
ideas?  I'm trying to figure out an hdparm command to disable hd sleeping for 
now...


still enthusiastic... but having considerably less fun :-(
