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?
