DaveJ, I assume it's too late now, and you don't effectively have any access to the machine any more, but "hpet=disable" or "nohpet" on the command line might be worth trying if you ever see that piece of hardware again.
And for posterity, do you have a dmidecode with motherboard/BIOS information for the problematic machine? And your configuration?
And finally, and stupidly, is there any chance that you have anything accessing /dev/hpet?
