As strange as this may sound, you might have a memory problem. You should check the DIMMs by removing all of them, and trying to boot the machine with just one DIMM installed.
I had the problem some time ago, having 4x128MB+2x32MB(+16MB onboard) installed in my Umax Pulsar I ended up with exactly the same strange behaviour. I reinitialised the partition map (although this is something you should try, too), removed all disks possible because I thought it could be some kind of misbehaviour of one of the disks etc. I got the DIMMs on eBay and one day I received an eMail of the seller, telling me that one of the DIMMs might be faulty. I ran the test above and found out that one DIMM actually wasn't working.
Hope that helps
Christian
