Hi All,
trying to install 6-stable in a VMWare 4.5.2 WS installation, running on an 1.6 GHz Celeron CPU. After 3 hours, it still extracts scontrib into /usr/src directory. On tty 3, top tells cpio ist in vlruwk state for ages. CPU states: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.8 interrupt, 99.5% idle.
Installing Beta 4 went flawlessly, so I guess some filesystem change since then is the culprit.

We mostly have reports on VMWare 5, not 4, so given those reports I'm surprised that it works at all =-) I can't think of anything that has changed that would be a smoking gun. In fact, debugging was removed from BETA5, so it _should_ go faster, not slower. Do you have the ability to install BETA4 and then incrementally update the source tree? That might be a good way to find out what happened.

Unfortunately, our corporate firewall blocks anything but http/port80, https/port443. Thus, neither CVS nor CVSup are an option. in addition, the install is still running after 24 hours. At this time, the full install churns slowly against ports/x11-themes.
I'll grab a cvs repository at home, but do not expect results before Tuesday, since I'm on vacation this weekend.
One more hint: "calcru: runtime went backwards..." pops up once or twice for each file.
