  Looks like this has helped; after cold reboot hpet=disable seems to
help the system to run properly (on 2.6.26 kernel). I wonder what could
cause these problems. In the meanwhile I learned that this machine
doesn't do proper cleanup during reboot -- it seems that state before
reboot affects the state after reboot, so I should probably do some
re-testing with cold reboot after each attempt. I guess I tried
hpet=disable some time ago and after quick reboot it did not work
properly.
