After twenty minutes there was still no sign of life. I tried 
enter-control-b on the serial console, escape-enter-control-b
and maybe a few other related combinations. No effect. Pulling
the plug and booting an old kernel worked fine. No need to wiggle
wires or reseat connectors (apart from power).

There was an earlier thread saying loader.efi needed to be updated,
but /boot/loader.efi is current as of last night. Is something 
besides a normal installworld required? I tried manually copying
loader.efi from the object tree to /boot, it seemed to make no
difference.

The stuck kernel sources are at 331137, world sources are about 24 
hours older.  The running kernel is r326343.

Thanks for reading!
