I was noticing strange behavior in my rc0.d shutdown scripts where the script would freeze in a 'sleep 1'. Sure enough, even running a 'sleep 1' form a normal prompt just made the system hang indefinitely (until I hit ctrl-C). If I unload sky2 and then install a different clock source (jiffies, tsc, etc) and reload the module, it all appears to work properly. This is very, very strange. I'll bring this up on the kernel mailing list in a different post focusing on the HPET config.
