This is obviously caused by the rtl8139 driver trying to allocate a 64kbyte buffer. The version in CVS is fixed and only tries to allocate 32kbyte, which supposedly works, but the gnumach image still uses the old version. I suppose this will be fixed eventually and until a time where I can either recompile the gnumach or get an updated version, I simply changed network cards ;-) > (2) I want to be able to login from a serial console; how do I do this? This still remains unsolved and is rather important for me since it's the only convenient way for me to work with the computer :-) I don't necessarily have to connect /dev/console to a terminal; I just need a login shell started on a serial device when the machine has booted.
