It hangs, pressing ctrl-t shows: cmd: sh [*vm active pagequeue]. Sometimes it hangs earlier when the kbd is not there yet (usb), then I can't get the process/task where it hangs. Note, this kernel is compiled with the default gcc (4.2.1-FreeBSD) Any ideas how to find out what's wrong? The previous revision, r323289 seems stable, at least it survived several kernel builds. TIA, Andreas
