:My apologies for unwarranted assumptions.

:OK, I've compiled up with DDB and -g and I get the following

:Asking DB for a panic at this point just hangs the system at the
:"syncing disks..." prompt.  I assume that is the same problem.
:
:FWIW: All this time, the Alt-Fn still works, until I tried to Alt-Fn
:to the Xserver.  Then it all hung.
:
:Anything else I can try?

    Yah, do a 'ps' from DDB.  If Alt-Fn still works the interrupts still
    work which means it is probably a sleep/wait lockup of some sort.  DDB's
    ps will tell you what processes are waiting on, similar to what
    'ps axl' from a shell prompt does.
