Hello Mark, Thanks for your reply.
So far I can only say that - the panic happens right after making all device nodes... done - the 7.6 image installs just fine - it happens with both a fresh install of a snapshot and with sysupgrade -s - cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV all works just fine. No panic. Can you please tell me what I can do more to narrow it down? Am Mi., 26.
