Narrative:

En route, flight attendant reported loud noise in forward cabin on floor. Relief pilot requested to investigate. Pilot investigated inside east&east compartment. Found location of noise/vibration in a duct along right side (copilot's side) of aircraft, leading into food cargo hold. Shortly afterwards, fumes were detected in cockpit. Status message then indicated east&east equipment exhaust fan. All pilots donned oxygen masks and emergency was declared. Divert was initiated. Captain flew aircraft and talked to ATC. Copilot ran non-normal checklists/normal checklists. Line check pilot did inter aircraft communication. Relief pilot communicated with company. Dead heading captain investigated fumes (decreased with procedure). Uneventful approach/landing. Full crash equipment and ground support provided. Positive items: additional pilots available. Prompt action initiating identing problem by flight attendant and pilots. CRM of all air crews. ATC provided outstanding service. Support excellent. Negative items: poor air system non-normal checklist (3 similar checklists for problems interrelated, but checklists do not interact). Not enough oxygen for cockpit crew (in this case 4 pilots) for greater than 30 plus minutes. Landed with 90 psi oxygen remaining.
