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 ;-)

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.
