[Bug 795717] Re: 32bit rhel and centos 5.(5|6) hangs on boot on natty

[gdahlman]

I have verified that by downloading and upgrading to the following
kernel the issue is resolved, the issue still exists with 2.6.38-10

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39-rc4-natty/

I successfully booted from CD on RHEL 5.4 and Centos 5.5 on CD and
installed with no issue with 8 cpu's

Here is the text of the commit I think fixes the issue.

    KVM: fix kvmclock regression due to missing clock update
    
    commit 387b9f97750444728962b236987fbe8ee8cc4f8c moved kvm_request_guest_time_update(vcpu),
    breaking 32bit SMP guests using kvm-clock. Fix this by moving (new) clock update function
    to proper place.
