If I use the same cd and rerecord it with = mkisofs .... -b /cdrom/floppies/boot.flp /cdrom it boots!

I've tracked it down. The problem was induced due to mess in the = boot loader and BIOS disk order. The smart boot loader was not loaded = from the first BIOS disk (ad0) but from the first SCSI disk. So it = thinks the ad disk was BIOS HD3 ...... After fixing that all runs well out of the box! Sorry! I've just trying to migrate my config and scripts from 4.9 to 5.2 so = I'm able to fix the xperfmon3 compile problem. However, the usb mouse didn't work. Booting in 4.9 all runs well. In = 5.2 the usbdev -v hangs about 5 seconds on the first hub. The mouse is = recognized, but the cursor didn't move. (I've also cvsup to the latest = sources and build my own kernel). 4.9-RELEASE: root@odie:~/ 143130 : usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), VIA(0x0000), rev 1= =2E00 port 1 addr 2: low speed, power 100 mA, config 1, PS2/USB Browser Combo = Mouse(0x0011), Cypress Sem(0x05fe), rev 0.10 port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb1: addr 1: self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), NEC(0x0000), rev 1= =2E00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), NEC(0x0000), rev 1= =2E00 port 1 powered port 2 powered 5.2-RC: The same output, but also the USB2 device is recognized. Any ideas? (vidcontrol -m on, moused parameters, are o.k. usbd also = starts the mouse .....)
