The last message I see is the timecounters message. If I exit to the boot prompt (option 6), then "load amr_linux" it gets loaded. Module name is amr_linux.ko. I also "set acpi_load=no" to get around the bad character in the ACPI table issue. Then "boot". Now I see message saying amr_linux is already loaded. boot sequence continues and I still hang after the timecounters message.
