Mark,

Here we go ...

Attached is a compound version against v2.6.28.4 of some
hpet patches that I'd like to submit asap.

Can you please apply this patch and test it on your machine.

By chance I've found a machine wich also hangs with HZ_1000.
And this patch fixes the problem on this machine.


Regards,
Andreas

PS: Please boot with "hpet=verbose" to show the HPET registers
(no additional debug parameter needed this time).
