Is it possible to compile in HPET support into Bochs? I know QEMU and VirtualBox have it.

VirtualBox HPET support does something very strange for me, when I attempt to start a timer with HPET it obviously uses some form of driver / hardware redirection+VMX and it physically blue screens my computer (not the emulator), however the HPET timer seems to work fine on real h/w, so I was hoping there was a more stable/working hpet capable emulator.

Unfortunately it is not possible. There is no HPET module emulation in Bochs devices. Someone has to write / port from QEMU one.
