Running 4.0-RELEASE on an AlphaStation 200.
As a regular user, if I copy /kernel to say /tmp/
the cp command never returns.  Then the system will
not service any disk request... It looks like any
disk reads just hang...

This only seems to happen with /kernel.

The kernel that is running in memory is a gz'd one from
the boot disk that I am using (it was also stripped before
it was gzip'd).

Any ideas?
