Hi, Milan.

Recompiled kernel with 'device ' and boot became frozen aft

puc0: <NetMos NM9922 Dual UART> port 0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 
0xfeaff000-0xfeafffff,0xfeafe000--xfeafefff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2

uart2: <Non-standard ns8250 class UART with FIFOS> at port 1 on puc0

Ctrl + c and Ctrl + d no response.

- boot to single user and still freezes

- guess that i should locate the old kernel
