Your system seems to be having HPET. So, you will have to configure HPET_EMULATE_RTC to have RTC working. Please make sure that option is selected in your .config. Let me know if it still hangs with that option. Jon, can you please confirm that RTC emulation fixed the problem? Venkatesh, this seems risky. Is there any reason why we wouldn't want to enable RTC emaulation all the time? The only reason I kept emulate rtc seperate was.. I didn't know of any specific app depending on RTC interrupt capability (RTC read writes can be done without HPET_EMULATE_ETC. But RTC interrupts won't work witout it). The difference between having EMULATE on by default and not seems to be 1K in text area. I am OK with having HPET_EMULATE_RTC on all the time. Created attachment 5416 [details]
