Try VESA.
I would suspect the NIC driver, too. I've seen a lot of people touched
by a r8169 bug freezing the kernel on large downloads, recently.
Just picking a post to reply here and it may have a good point. I was
browsing around to see what software I had for my UPS. I thought I
would download the thing, untar it and just check out the README file to
see what would be involved in installing it on my rig. It was a tarball
so nothing video related or flash related either. It also didn't use
the little download helper tool I been using either. I clicked on the
link to download and the window popped up to ask me whether to open it
or save it. I selected to save it as I have done countless times
before. As soon as I clicked that, the window popped up asking where to
save it to then kernel panic. This was in Seamonkey.
Could this be a network card/driver issue? I have had no problems so
far with emerge downloading anything from the command line. I'm going
to test this by deleting the tarballs for OOo and then fetching them
again. If it doesn't crash, then maybe it is something related to HOW
Seamonkey and Firefox access the net. If it does crash, then maybe I
need a new network card.
Thoughts? Going to go run my test now.
