Would be nice to figure out which exact change solves the problem, so
that we could fast-route it into v2.6.27. (and for eventual .26 and .25
backporting, if it's simple enough)
first thing would be to check whether tip/master works fine:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README
if that works fine it would be nice to check whether the pending changes
in tip/timers/hpet solves this particular issue. That can be done by:
git-checkout -b tmp.test tip/timers/hpet
[ once you have set up tip as a remote repository, as described in the
README above. ]
If tip/timers/hpet solves the problem then it's one of these five
commits that solves it:
f92a789: hpet: /dev/hpet - fixes and cleanup, fix
64a76f6: hpet: /dev/hpet - fixes and cleanup
f356181: x86: add PCI ID for 6300ESB force hpet
3243b4e: x86: add another PCI ID for ICH6 force-hpet
70ef6d5: x86: get irq for hpet timer
