Then, if no immediate crash, see what's in /dev, and run MAKEDEV all, try to include the extra dk* nodes. Kernel with xhci hung on boot (login: prompt but then keyboard input was not recognized). Dynamically-created device nodes, as in modern-day Linux and FreeBSD, are so much nicer to deal with than MAKEDEV. There is no /etc/MAKEDEV or MAKEDEV.local, but there is $SRCDIR/etc/MAKEDEV.local , also MAKEDEV.tmpl and MAKEDEV.awk . Tom
