-The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) hardware is the future replacement
-for the 8254 and Real Time Clock (RTC) periodic timer functionality.
-Each HPET can have up to 32 timers. It is possible to configure the
-first two timers as legacy replacements for 8254 and RTC periodic timers.
-A specification done by Intel and Microsoft can be found at
-<http://www.intel.com/technology/architecture/hpetspec.htm>.

Put hpet=disable in the kernel command line and see if that works. It
did for me.

BTW, I have no idea on what hpet is.

Yes thanks that seems to have fixed the problem.  Booted fine.  I have no idea what hpet is but it seems to have something to do with amd processor.

What's the problem?  First answer listed from googling "hpet":
