Dale, what YoYo meant was precisely that: emerge gets files using wget |
| 12 |
(unless you configured it otherwise) which writes directly to the |
| 13 |
directory, whereas Firefox would first download something to (I guess) |
| 14 |
/tmp and (according to YoYo) write it to the "correct" name/directory |
| 15 |
once you give it to the browser. So YoYo is suspecting that it is this |
| 16 |
move of the file from /tmp (or whereever) to your download directory |
| 17 |
that is giving the kernel panic. |

BTW, you mentioned that this happened after a power-outage. Have you |
| 20 |
completely checked your disks and filesystem's health? |
