It still happens sporadically on boot-up -- maybe one in 10 boots without
any change in the kernel binary..

on which kernel version ?

Originally back with 2.6.21, but more recently on kernels as new as 2.6.22-rc3.

For now, I've simply grabbed your new patchset and applied it to 2.6.22-rc4-git*,
and I'll cry out again if the problem should recur with your latest stuff.

Thanks.

Subject: [BUG] 2.6.21: Kernel won't boot with either/both of CONFIG_NO_HZ, CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS

I have a new notebook (Dell Inspiron 9400) with Core2-Duo T7400 @ 2.1Ghz.
When either/both of CONFIG_NO_HZ, CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is used,
the 2.6.21 kernel hangs on startup just after printing one/both of these:

kernel: switched to high resolution mode on cpu 1
kernel: switched to high resolution mode on cpu 0

100% of the time.  The only fix I've found is to rebuild
the kernel without those two options.

The failed kernel.config is attached.
Here is /proc/cpuinfo and lspci -v.

Any help appreciated.
