Ok, I just boot-tested a 1000 HZ kernel here and I can't reproduce
your problem. Can you please send the failing .config. And also where
exactly does your kernel hang during the boot process, can you capture
any output and/or enable SysRq to dump backtrace on all cores (SysRq-T)
if possible. Finally, what does 'cat /proc/timer_list' on the working
kernel say?

Thanks.
