Subject: kernel stuck at trying to change CPU resolution.

Hi, I have a Pentium-M 1.86GHZ processor Laptop. Standard DELL Latitude
D610. I ran the 2.6.31-rc1 kernel (updated tree as of 10 minutes ago).
The kernel gets stuck at the message saying "Switching to High
resolution mode on CPU0" after about 10 minutes it goes to the next
step, but then continues to get stuck. There is no log, as presumable
this is happening before the kernel fully initialises the harddrive and
passes control to user mode. I am running a non modular kernel with no
major changes made to my configuration since 2.6.27. I have never had
any issues thus far. Since I am using a laptop I am unable to access the
sysrq key (which in my case is not prnt screen, but Fn+PrintScreen, and
Fn key is not read by kernel at all, even after full boot and under
normal conditions). Thank you for your time. I have also attached my
config file.
