did you try to NOT load kbdmux(4)? does it still hang?
also GENERIC already has 'device ukbd' so you do not have to load it.

ok. does kbdmux(4) work?, i.e. can you type on both (atkbd(4) and
ukbd(4)) keyboards?

well, i'm not sure what is the problem here. just by looking at the
dmesg you posted i can see all three atkbd(4), ukbd(4) and kbdmux(4). so
it seems like everything should be working. is it not?
