:Incidently, I'm certain that the config file that produced my working February
:16 kernel included:
:
:options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols
:options NFS_NOSERVER #Disable the NFS server code
:
:for whatever that may be worth.

I personally don't think NFS_NOSERVER could be the cause, but it's
worth taking out since very few people use it (so a bug wouldn't be
obvious to the larger community). But INET6 involves a huge amount
of code that was recently modified. Being able to discount (or focus
in on) that would be a big help. The others are also not probable
causes, but worth removing to try to get to as standard a base kernel
as possible. e.g. I don't know anyone who sets NSWAPDEV to 1, which
is a degenerate case for the swap striping code.
