Chris,
Sorry, I didn't know what was needed. I have also located the
problem (well, sort of). I built a GENERIC kernel, and then made
incremental changes until I had my old working kernel back. The problem
appears to be in the code for one of the following options:
CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP
CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION
CLK_USE_TSC_CALIBRATION
I don't need these anymore (my machine figures out the clock speed when it
boots without them), so I didn't try to isolate which was at fault. If
people would like, I can turn these on one at a time and see which is
causing it. If I remember correctly from when I last looked at the code,
CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP turns on the feature and the other 2 select
variations on how it is handled.
