Hello, I apologize for my late answer; I had some troubles running X after upgrading to Xorg 1.5 ... I am running the latest gentoo-patched kernel (linux-2.6.28-gentoo-r5), and NOT running Xen (nor any other virtualization software). Is there any chance that the failure of math.ct test signalizes some hardware problem? There is one thing I should probably try: when I have installed Gentoo, I have downloaded wrong stage3 tarball, so now I have CHOST set to i486-pc-linux-gnu (instead of i686-pc-linux-gnu). Anyway, I have then compiled everything with -march=athlon option. As I have learned, a change of CHOST leads to some (possibly lot of) recompiling. I do not know what exactly will the change of CHOST do, but who knows...
