Hi current, the problem exists irrespective of the presence of a device.hints file. I copied the complete /boot directory from 5.2-BETA (glad the letter "b" is pretty early in the tar archives...) including a kernel. The result is the same as stated earlier. I once had the strange (planned?) effect that after a panic, the kernel message buffer seemed to simply have been appended to during a following succesful boot (of a different kernel). If this worked again, it would be a neat way of capturing the messages without a serial cable... Since it did not work when I tried a few minutes ago, it might need something like the chance of nearby kernels using the same address for the buffer or something. I will now try an upgrade to 5.1 anyway, which already worked once for me. Maybe I can tell you more about the problem in a few days (building is *seriously* slow on this machine...). Cheers, Thomas
