Ok, so here are some details that may be useful:
the command history: login root fsck.ext2 /dev/hd0s3 settrans -ag / ftp ftp.debian.org anonymous cd debian/dists/sid get Contents-hurd-i386.gz and the kernel panic follows immediately: Kernel page fault at adress 0x0. eip 0x0 Kernel Page fault trap, eip 0x0 kernel trap, type 14, code = 0 Dump of i386_saved_state 002a1af4: EAX 00000000 EBX 000276c0 ECX 00000024 EDX 000009 ESI 00000009 EDI 002a1b60 EBP 002a1ba4 ESP 0015dd13 CS 0008 SS 0009 DS 0010 ES 0010 FS 001f GS 001f v86: DS 1b60 ES 0000 FS 8dfc GS 8dfc EIP 00000000 EFLAGS 00010217 trapno 14: Page fault error 00000000 panic: trap the v86 FS and GS values change every time, and once the system just hanged during the ftp session. Running lspci from the linux system yields ... 00:09:0: Ethernet Controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [Faster Net] (rev 22) ... And it would seem that the driver loaded by the hurd is dec4x5.c at least it appeared on the boot-up screen (is there an equivalent to dmesg?). (and that driver works fine under linux). How should I diagnose it? On 3 Apr 2002, Neal H Walfield wrote: > > I'm having some trouble downloading "large" files over the network.
