The problem occurs well after the kernel is up and running. The last
messages that were readable were from ugen/uhub and ada0. The rest was
garbled and the system froze solid something after that. I tried

console was trashed but system was running.
This is amd64 built with clang. I have dual consoles - serial and VGA.
