Tried:

kernel-image-2.4.23-pre5-amd64-smp_20030927.1-1_amd64.deb
Both of them hang at "initializing cpu #1". Any idea what might be
wrong? Does it pay to try and get the boot messages copied down (by hand)?
Try first with kernel parameters like nosmp, noapic and nolapic, they might help you identify the problem.
