Sorry, one more clarifying point here:

When you used either clocksource=hpet/clocksource=acpi_pm did the
behavior of the system seem different after booting? In other words:
does running time waiting a few seconds and then running time again show
the expected passage of time?  Were any following hangs seen, or was it
only the first one at boot?
