Some other piece of code is locking > up your system at boot (preventing interrupts probably). I agree. 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. This one hangs too, but, if I hit CTRL+ALT+ESC a bit earlier (just before it hangs), I can drop into db> Main question now: When should I enter the debugger ? It's obviously too late, if the system already hangs... but it won't help if I enter the debugger too early, right ? any suggestions ? thanks so far and regards, Marian
