I found the source of the clock hanging.

It occurred when modprobing l440gx.ko

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
acpi_pm <-- Problem is here.  tsc clocksource is choosen on my tyan
1832dl

To solve:
# echo "tsc" \
> /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

Clock shows it's running now.

Your tip about the timing/timer helped a lot.
