Ok, I managed to copy the source code off of the 5.2.1-RELEASE CD-ROM and (after hacking the makefiles a bit) build a new world & kernel. However, after installing the new kernel (and rebooting in single user, with ACPI disabled), I'm back to the same behavior as when I boot the 5.2.1 CD-ROM itself - the system is _glacially_ slow, taking many, many minutes to make progress in booting and making interactive use (at the console, since network connections always time-out) extremely difficult. Is this a general symptom of amd64 machines that others have seen? Would disabling "INVARIANTS" or "WITNESS" in the GENERIC kernel build help? Or, has this been addressed in 5-CURRENT and I just need the most recent source? Could anyone help me out by providing a .tgz of a recent /usr/src? Thanks, Quincey
