With boot -v the kernel gets as far as

isa_probe_children: Probing PnP Devices

I've compiled and run a kernel with the DDB option.
On the third attempt I got lucky and managed to get into do a trace. I
didn't bother to write down the enty points etc


Debugger()
scgetc
atkbd_int
atkbd_isa_int
Xresume1()
----Interput, esp= etc
doreti_next
mi_startup
begin ()


I ran continue a few times in the debugger and the  kernel seemed to be
looping around doreti_next with the occational call to vec1.

Any ideas on where to go from here.

    If you could compile up a custom kernel with the following options:

    options         DDB

    And then when it hangs try doing a CTL-ALT-ESC.  If you get the ddb>
    prompt, do a 'trace'.
