It's probably not the driver ahd(4) itself, since the cvs log says it was last changed some 4 months ago... > Without some > debugger > info, I can't say more. > Unluckily the system hangs hard (num lock hangs too) and I can't get into the debugger... if I understood it correctly, CTRL+ALT+ESC should drop me into the debugger. hm... I went back to 5.4-release, got the latest sources of RELENG_6 via cvsup and build a new kernel.
