Unfortunately I am running 8.04 and I don't know how to upgrade the
kernel to anything newer than 2.6.24-21...

Also, I will be unavailable for most of September so I am unable to test
Alpha 5 when it becomes available. When I am able to try it, I will.


Here's a recap with the most relevant info about the issue, and some
recently discovered details:

- I have a laptop with a Celeron M (non-SpeedStep cpu)
- Boot freezes for anything between 0.3 and 60 seconds, partly random, partly 
affected by if boot splash enabled or not, kernel version, etc, etc
- Issue can be successfully worked around by adding "clocksource=hpet" to the 
boot parameters.

Ubuntu 8.04, both with installed & updated system and with LiveCD:
- Very early in the boot process:
"tsc clocksource has been installed"

- Immediately after the freeze, these two messages are displayed:
"tsc clocksource is unstable (delta [time of delay] ns)"
"hpet clocksource has been installed"

In 8.10 Alpha 4 (kernel 2.6.26), only tried LiveCD:
- After freeze, there is only:
"tsc clocksource is unstable (delta [time of delay] ns)"
- There are no "xxxxx has been installed" (neither tsc nor hpet) -- the message 
seems to have been hidden/removed.
