Subject:   custom kernel freezes when using KVM
Message-ID:  <19114.30046.373632.669034@jerusalem.litteratus.org>

	1) About two weeks ago I installed 8.0beta3/amd64 on new
hardware.  Except for one problem, now solved, everything went
smoothly and I was a happy camper.
	2) Several days later I hooked it up to a (USB-) KVM; I also
connected a Windows XP box and was able to switch back and forth
between them with no problems.
	3) Three days ago, I updated the system source and did the
per-handbook system upgrade using the appended kernel config file.
	4) Since then, using the KVM - whether or not the Windows
machine is running - causes the FreeBSD box to freeze hard (requires
hardware reset).
	While I have updated installed ports (list available on
request), it seems reasonable to believe this is a OS failure and
the new kernel is responsible.
	Is there anything I left out, or put in, that would cause this
breakage?  Has snyone seen this kind of thing before?

	Respectfully,


				Robert Huff
