The commit 3def3d6ddf43dbe20c00c3cbc38dfacc8586998f (x86: insert_resorce for lapic addr after e820_reserve_resources) causes my x86_64 box to to lock up early on in the boot process. Reverting only this commit with current git head gives a successful boot. The last messages outputted to the screen with a failed boot are: pci 0000:00:13.2: OHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 00000184 Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = 475235503 ns) The handoff message appears not to be related, and occurs with all kernels. The 'clocksource' message appears only with the above commit. The box has an Abit F-190HD motherboard with a Q6600 CPU. A .config, dmesg from git head with the above commit reverted and lspci -v are attached. What further information can I provide to help work this issue out? Many thanks, -- Ciaran McCreesh
