The following bug entry is on the current list of known regressions
from 2.6.24. Please verify if it still should be listed.

Soeren said it no longer happens to him in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/9/53
but unfortunately it still happens with me using -rc9. So I kidnapped his
bugzilla report :-)

In the bugzilla entry I said earlier today that "hpet=disable" apparently
makes the problem go away (42 boots OK so far, whereas without this
boot option it hangs ~90% using vga=6 and ~10% using vga=0x0364)

I tried to bisect it, but sometimes in pre 2.6.25-rc1 kernels it takes
30 boots before the first hang to occur. So bisection is not reliable...

If someone proposes a patch I will be glad to test it!

PS: The similar bug in buzilla 10377 also appears to be "fixed"
by using hpet=disable, see comment #17 in that bug.
