[Peter Fox]

There was a bug where the timer gate wasn't turned on if only
currticks was called.

  That's it.
  
  I hacked together a new timer.c based on freebios/src/pc80/udelay_timer2.c
  
  You may want to offer it as an alternative, but then again, maybe not.
  
  I can now boot linux using filo !
  
  Thanks for all your help.

    Maybe RDTSC causes invalid opcode exception, and since there is no
    exception handler, the CPU resets.
    
    filo/i386/timer.c must be re-written to support pre-Pentium CPUs.
