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 :)
