Are you using 2.4.18-bf2.4 floppy disk? I have encountered this problem
once. The installer downloaded 2.2.20 kernel and drivers for me. I solved
it by downloading the proper resuce.bin (for kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4) and
drivers.tgz (also for 2.4.18-bf2.4) before installation. At step "Install
kernel and driver modules", tell the installer to fetch the proper files
locally.
You can switch to console by "Alt+F2", check the
/target/lib/modules/ directory, find the version of kernel and drivers
downloaded by the installer. Perhaps it's just a wrong version.
