The help I've found on this says:
 NOTE: If your system hangs when init should run, you are probably
 using a i686 compiled glibc which reads the TSC without checking for
 availability. Boot without "notsc" and install a i386 compiled glibc
 to solve the problem.

I'm using the i686 kernel as well as the i686 glibc on this dual-Xeon
system.  Will notsc cause me problems?

Thanks,
