I just tried booting various recent Intrepid amd64 CD images under kvm 70+dfg-1 (the latest Debian package) on a host running a very recent self-built 2.6.26-rc9 kernel, and I also had the same problem that the guest locked up early in boot unless I passed in the "no-kvmclock" kernel option.
So it's still not clear to me where the bug is. Surely someone has tested a working kvmclock paravirt setup with some combination of kvm host and Linux guest?
