Kernel hangs at "Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec" with APIC enabled (Was: Re: Why don't the packages get built for the runtime dependencies of the package I am building ?)

Thankyou Kris,

I'll try this as soon as I can get a build of -CURRENT that boots on
my Athlon XP NForce 2 system.  Unfortunately it's hanging again near
the end of device probing (which means I have to disable APIC in the
BIOS again).

With APIC enabled in the BIOS this is as far as the kernel gets:

sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x100>
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1992033718 Hz quality 800
Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec

With APIC disabled in the BIOS the system boots fine.

This has been a problem in the past but not for quite a while.
