Bug#494036: hwclock freeze mac-mini too

[Fabrice Lorrain <Fabrice.Lorrain@free.fr>]

Hello,

I've the same problem as Gonéri on a mac-mini core2 duo, since my 
upgrade to 2.6.26-1-686 :
- Erratic freeze at boot time during time setting. The last message 
showing at the console is :
"
Setting the system clock".
Checking root file system etc...
Setting the system clock".

I've always had 2 lines "Setting the system clock" so I guess the crash 
happen in  S11hwclock.sh.

I've less success in reproducing the crash with "while true; do hwclock 
; sleep 1 ; done". But "while true; do hwclock ; sleep1 ; done" does 
every time...

Running with hpet=disable seems to fix the problem... so far.

For Gonéri, thanks for your complete BTS, it helped.
