Kernel/World Upgrade causes Hang

Well, I would suggest you try this:


cd /usr/src

make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC

cd /boot
mv kernel test
mv kernel.old kernel
nextboot -k test


Then, you can reboot.

This will ensure you can boot a stock kernel just fine.

If you can, obviously there is something wrong with your custom kernel
and you should start from a fresh GENERIC kernel and remove devices and
drivers little by little.
