Can't boot: "hda: lost interrupt" after possibly screwing up kernel.

I am (was) running Debian testing on an Athlon 1100. Since I last
successfully booted, I added the hotplug package and the line usb-storage
to /etc/modules. I was trying to get sensors to work, which downgraded my
kernel (from 2.4.23) to 2.4.20. I then removed kernel-image-2.4.20 and
added kernel-image 2.4.23-i686.
Now my machine won't finish booting. It appears to load the kernel,
recognizes all the drives, then goes into this:
hda: attached ide-disk driver.
hda: lost interrupt
hda: lost interrupt
....
hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
....
/boot still contains the 2.4.23-i386 files. Or is it a module problem?
I am extremely desperate to get this fixed as I need to get some work done
tomorrow! Where can I get a good Debian rescue disk? (The links on
http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html
are invalid.) Is that the correct approach?
Help would be very gratefully appreciated!
