Subject: AMD690G - Asus M2A-VM - HPET support?

Asus M2A-VM board with the most recent BIOS update
AM2 5600
x86-64 kernel

With newer kernels (like 2.6.22-rc4), kernel hangs solid during bootup: no
oops, bug or panic etc. With nohpet kernel parameter, it boots fine.

(I referred to the following threads:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&w=2&r=1&s=SB600+HPET&q=b ; there was no
conclusion I could understand.)

Interestingly with older 2.6.20.x, like the one on Kubuntu 7.04, though hpet
doesn't appear to be working - it reports hpet resource being busy, it doesn't
hang at least.

The complete dmesg of the 2.6.22-rc4 (latest hg snapshot at 57858:a9502f591925
from http://www.kernel.org/hg/linux-2.6) booted with nohpet is attached.

Curiously, both the BIOS settings & the board's manual imply it's a working
feature with the other non-Linux OS :-), not that I verified.

Who can I buy a few pints to get hpet going on this board? (if at all it's
going to work)

Of course, patches, suggestions welcome. More info on request.

Thanks
