Please scan the dmesg for the "Using epoch 2000 for rtc year 13" line,
and compare vs a similar message on the previous kernel.

That's curious.  I wonder if somehow I botched the smp changes, and I'm
not getting the timer interrupt either (1) enabled or (2) registered on
the secondary cpus...

Perhaps /proc/interrupts will confirm or deny this?
