The keyboard still works as I can use scroll lock to review the boot messages, and CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot. When device atapicam is removed from the kernel, I can boot to single user mode and continue to installword. However, I still cannot drop to single user with 'shutdown now'. It hangs at the same spot. Again, CTRL-ALT-DEL can reboot gracefully. Problem came only after cvsup from 5.4-RC3 to 5.4-RELEASE. 5.4-RELEASE discs not available yet. Kernel built with same options from 5.4-RC3 or earlier has no problem. >How-To-Repeat: I installed with 5.4-RC3 discs, build and installed world and custom (and working) kernel using procedure in UPDATING. On May 6,2005, cvsup to 5.4-RELEASE. Build and install using same kernel config file. Same problem occurs on another computer after cvsup from 5.4-RC3 to 5.4-RELEASE. Have repeatedly upgraded with similar procedure and using atapicam starting from 5.2.1. >Fix: To boot to single user: remove 'device atapicam'. To drop to single user: ???. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
