Hi, all.
Yes, I forgot to mention 2.6,20 also, which we found to be the same as
the -18 kernel.
Sorry, to have forgotten.

2) cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
reveals that the timer clock is based on "jiffies" by default in the
2.6.20
kernel
3) simply switching to "tsc" these default timer clock values solves
the freeze
and the hang problem in both 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 kernels.
To resume :
- clocksource=pit -> freeze issues
- clocksource=jiffies -> latency issues
So please, I suggest that you use / enable the "tsc" clocksource by
default for
the upcoming kernels versions related to the k7 architecture.
