    I agree. It's probably not the driver ahd(4) itself, since the cvs log
    says it was last changed some 4 months ago...

    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
