You're using IDE hardware while mine is all SCSI using an Adaptec 2940UW.
When booting the kernel gets loaded and then fails on initializing the SCSI
devices (timeouts). 

This happened with kernel 2.0.35 while 2.0.34 and below work perfectly. Same
with the "bleeding edge" 2.1.xx (also timeouts) which I don't use on the
production machines.
