Is that a Kernel message?

Not sure why it'd be hanging there, it's basically just inititalising
the time source. Try booting the system and passing 'clock=pmtmr' to the
kernel boot line (2.6 kernels only, iirc) - that'll let you know if your
timing source is duff.

To be honest though, if it's hanging when trying to init. the
timesource, it's time for a new mobo :)

You've not done a Kernel upgrade recently, have you?
