Hi,
	I just got an e521 (Athlon 64 x@ 3800, 1 gig, ...) and I'm trying to  
install 6.1,
6.2 Beta 2 on it. I get a panic on the ohci with everything I do.  
safe mode, single
user, no apci, etc. Using i386 and amd64.

	I tried sending to questions, but got only 1 response, asking if I  
used safe
mode.

	The e521 has no PS/2 ports, only usb.

	The errors look like this: (sorry, there may be missing parts), you  
get 15 seconds
to write it down.


uhub0: device problem (SET_ADDR_FAILED) disabling port 8
atkbdc0: <keyboard control (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 at atkbdc0
kbd0 at atkbd0
atkbd0 [GIANT-LOCKED]
sc0 ....
...
panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found


So, I'm thinking a couple of things.

1. It's trying to add in the PS/2 keyboard, even though it's not there.
2. kdbmux is not adding the USB keyboard.


So I installed the disk on another machine. And made the mistake of  
not adding ifconfig
to the rc.conf. I built a kernel,taking out unneeded stuff. But I  
left in the atkbd devices,
I think that was a mistake. I'm trying to build a new kernel. I'm  
also unsure as to the fstab,
I think it's wrong.

I'm trying to create a zip250 drive that will boot, on an old machine.
