Blam. http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/hpet-crash.jpg
time_init() is called before slab is set up. We cannot do memory
allocations inside time_init().

hrm. Looks like none of your testers have HPET_ID_LEGSUP hardware. This:
--- a/arch/i386/kernel/hpet.c~a
+++ a/arch/i386/kernel/hpet.c
@@ -376,7 +376,7 @@ int __init hpet_enable(void)
clocksource_register(&clocksource_hpet);
- if (id & HPET_ID_LEGSUP) {
+ if (0 && (id & HPET_ID_LEGSUP)) {
hpet_enable_int();
hpet_reserve_platform_timers(id);
/*
_
gets it working. It basically nobbles the hpet and the kernel chose the
TSC clocksource instead.
btw, if you want to know why I go on and on about crappy commenting, try to
work out from the kernel source code what HPET_ID_LEGSUP is, and why it
gets special treatment. It is not possible. This is not maintainable
code.
