    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?

    Linus
