Nice way to crash a 1.99.5 kernel, works every time (on more than just my machine)
First, find your linux boot floppy.
# mount -t minix /dev/fd0 /mnt # cd /mnt # rm vmlinuz
Complete system hang at this point. Obviously not something we want to happen, no? Oddly enough you can delete some files, but not others; I haven't really time to figure out whats going wrong - all I can get out of the machine is the register dump, which tells me the routine it is stuck in is V1_trunc_indirect
it appears to loop around this V1_trunc_indirect+88
but I can't tell you a lot more, its not easy trying to dump lots of register thingies and writing them all down.
Virtual consoles still appear to work, oddly enough.
Giles
