While updating to 7.1 from 7.1-PRE i have that problem to. I have compiled=
=20
non-GENERIC kernel, installed it, and rebooted in single user mode to=20
mergemaster and install world. But boot process hangs in the same=20
place("Timecounters.."). Then, i played with kernel directory at a boot tim=
e=20
and loaded my old kernel. Then i commented out INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE option a=
nd=20
changed HZ=3D300 option to HZ=3D250 in kernel config and recompiled kernel.=
 And it=20
booted ok, updating runs smoothly, everybody happy now. Hope this helps you!
