I've checked the server, and it is just about doing nothing. I can't tell
from here if you actually reached the server or not. Are you behind a
firewall?

.... Wait a minute 2.1.125 kernel? Then you probably might need to get a
more recent kernel package:

    ftp...:/pub/coda/src/linux-coda-development-4.7.2-2.1.123.tgz

something has changed that made this one incompatible with development
kernels before 2.1.123. (Peter, was this related to the change in the
inode_file_operations structure in the 11x kernels?)

let me know if that solves something for you.
