Bradley,

   My understanding is that the stock 3.2.7 kernel was built on a machine
running -current and that it's always been best to build kernels on the
specific machines that will run them.

   I can try using the 3.2.7 kernel packages. At worst, I re-install 13.37
then build a 3.2.11 kernel from souce (that's the most current stable
kernel.)
