Well, thank you for your helpful reply.  Unfortunately it doesn't solve
the problem, but it does get further :-)

In the old version, it ended:

[   1.0000000] ahb0: interrupting at eisa irq 12
[   1.0000000] scsibus0 at ahb0: 8 targets, 8 luns per target
[   1.0000000] isa0 at jensenio0
[   1.0000000] vga0 at isa0 port 0x3b0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff
[   1.0000000] wsdisplay0 at vga0 (kbdmux ignored)
[   1.0000000] fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2

then hung

and in the new it crashes later with a panic dump:

[   1.0000000] ahb0: interrupting at eisa irq 12 (edge trigger)

Any further help appreciated!

Thanks and Happy New Year to all
