Bug#511334: debian-installer: S390 boot fails on Flex-ES machine

[Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>]

I think this bug is related to an issue I've seen myself with 2.6.28. The 
symptoms (point where the boot hangs) are somewhat similar at least.
There seems to be a bug in the kernel's timekeeping code which can 
manifest itself differently depending on the (emulated) hardware clock.

My issue was reported upstream in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/7/155.
See also http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/12/23 and my reply to that.

However, it's also possible the above is totally unrelated...

Cheers,
