The above shows us that we need to look at ISPRIME1950-64BITRAID in the same directory.[root@leaf ~]# cd /sys/amd64/conf [root@leaf /sys/amd64/conf]# cat ISPRIME1950-64BITRAID-SMP-LEAF # # we have more than 10G of memory we can set maxusers much higher than # the default 384 -bw- 2011-02-24 # maxusers 4096 include ISPRIME1950-64BITRAID options SMP [root@leaf /sys/amd64/conf]#
If the two commented lines above are not in this lowest level kernel config file add them please. You will of course also need to have basic usb support, but that should be present already.device usb device ugen device uhid device ukbd # usb keyboard support device ums device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer

Make a copy of the previous kernel just in case we have a problem. The install process makes a copy in /boot/kernel.old, but if you have 2 bad kernels in a row you might be left without a working kernel, so it is a good idea to keep a known working copy around.

The system should come up on the new kernel. If it does not the previous kernel is saved and you can boot from it at the loader prompt.
