ok, the error printed from ntpdate has to do with networking:
Running ntpdate to synchronize clockError : Temporary failure in name resolution

it then stops after printing the following tg3 initialization line:
tg3: eth0 Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.

right now I'm trying to get SysRq working (my first try with it) so
that I see where it's hanging.
