Re: HPET regression in 2.6.26 versus 2.6.25 -- found another userwith the same regression

David,

could you try the debug patch below ontop of latest tip/master:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

the patch forcibly ignores resource conflicts and reports them. This 
will likely break some system - but if your hpet troubles are due to 
resource conflicts then this patch would make the kernel boot up fine on 
your system by default, with a working hpet.

You should also be getting a printout and a warning in the dmesg in that 
case.
