Thomas, I haven't found a good way to capture the SysRq output for this. I found that when it locks up at boot time, even SysRq is unresponsive. I don't have another way of getting console on the machine right now to get the output off of it. I have since upgraded to 2.6.24 and the problem still persists.
Another interesting twist though.. I just rebuilt my kernel with ARCH=x86_64 and HPET works perfectly. So this only appears to break when in 32-bit mode. For some reason it picks tsc at boot time, but if I install hpet afterwards under x86_64 it no longer hangs when I run 'sleep 1'. Does that shed any more light on the problem?
