Linux Bootup hangs after adding RealTime Premption and HR-Timer


Hi All,

My Hardware is ARM based and the I am using ELDK (linux-2.6.19.2). I added a patch for Real-Time Preemption and it did work. I added High Resolution Timer as well (added architecture specific code). But after this change the system hangs during the boot-up itself.

Following is the boot log:

Can someone help me for this (whoever did RealTime Preemption and HR Timer for Kernel)?
Any help/hint will be highly appreciated
