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
