It _sometimes_ works, but usually doesn't boot, just like 2.6.23-rc4-mm1, 2.6.23-rc6-mm1 and everything in between with the above patch series applied. I've also tried: http://tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.23-rc5/patch-2.6.23-rc5-hrt1.patches.tar.bz2 http://tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.23-rc6/patch-2.6.23-rc6-hrt2.patch with the same result. The problematic patch is x86_64-convert-to-clockevents.patch . Since the boot fails very early, before any messages reach the (VGA) console, I have no idea what to do next, except for digging in the code. Greetings, Rafael
