      Maybe someone runs into the same problem:

      On my Shuttle SG41J1 with a Core 2 Duo E7500 the system freezes about a minute
      after booting is finished. All running processes continue to work (almost) normally,
      but when starting a new process, the system just hangs (no Ctrl-C, or anything else
      works).

      In the BIOS "Multi-Processing", "SpeedStep" and "C-State" are enabled.
      When disabling all 3 options, the system runs normally…

      The problem is Shuttle's buggy ACPI implementation, which can be worked around
      by adding this sysctl:

      kern.timecounter.hardware=HPET

      Have fun (and don't buy Shuttle)!
