I'm afraid it fails to boot here entirely.
Gets as far as:
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 31
hpet0: 3 32-bit timers, 25000000 Hz

And it sits there, instead of showing me it switched into
high-resolution mode as expected:
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 0
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 4
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 2
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 3
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 1
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 5
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 7
Switched to high resolution mode on CPU 6

I'll go and bisect now if it doesn't ring any bells. It's a dual
quad-core Opteron 2354 on a Tyan n6650W (S2915-E), BIOS 2.07
I've attached .config; personally I'm suspecting commit
1f6d6e8ebe73ba9d9d4c693f7f6f50f661dbd6e4 as I booted a tree from
Wednesday without issue.

No accusation as I can't back that up yet. Any patches that you want me to try and revert first?

Regards,
Tony V.
