I had trouble with the gentoo kernel too ... on a dual PIII box. Since
switching to a unadulterated kernel, not a single glitch.

The problem has been raised in the Gentoo forums, and the people who
don't like the gentoo kernel indicate that the problems may be to due to
the number of patches the gentoo kernel gets. I suspect one or more
don't live too well with multiple CPUs.
