I have exactly the same problem with my custom board using an 8260.
At every 5-10 times I start the kernel, it hangs on
'Calibrating delay loop...' for about 1 minute, and then yields
the same result (130.66 BogoMips).

I begun to try to debug that problem, but without any success yet. :-(
I've searched through the mailing lists, but did not find anything of
interest.

This problem is very annoying and I really want to fix it!
