I feel your pain buddy. I haven't had any trouble yet with my new 5.3 install. I haven't booted up an SMP kernel yet either. Who knows if that will do the trick. This is the initial install with the fdisk detected geometry, not the WD settings. I have put the system under some load, but without the SMP kernel I wasn't able to get the disk humming too much. I even built mozilla in one shell while rebuilding firefox in another. Building OpenOffice.org didn't encounter any problems either. If all goes well, while I'm at work today, the first stage of buildworld and buildkernel should be happening. When I get home, I'll finish the install and see if rebuilding OpenOffice.org works without incident. Other than that, everything but the BSD version (and my fancy new dual head setup - happydance!) is the same as my previous 5.2.1 setup that had me pulling my hair out with disk write based crashes. I'll fill you in when I know what happens. Good luck.
