Chris,
	Sorry, I didn't know what was needed.  I have also located the
problem (well, sort of).  I built a GENERIC kernel, and then made
incremental changes until I had my old working kernel back.  The problem
appears to be in the code for one of the following options:

	CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP
	CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION
	CLK_USE_TSC_CALIBRATION

I don't need these anymore (my machine figures out the clock speed when it
boots without them), so I didn't try to isolate which was at fault.  If
people would like, I can turn these on one at a time and see which is
causing it.  If I remember correctly from when I last looked at the code,
CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP turns on the feature and the other 2 select
variations on how it is handled.

	brian
