What about sharing some of the dmesg output, so we can take a look?
What are the differences between your configuration and the stock
config? What version of 2.4.27 are you using? Are any of the
machines able to boot from a stock Debian kernel, and if so, what
happens? Are you getting the kernel source from a debian package or
from kernel.org? You mention having several machines; do you have a
sacrificial machine you could install from scratch?
As an aside, I wonder why you're using Sarge? Sarge = testing = not
intended as a user system; it would more accurately be described as
the integration phase of the Debian development cycle. (Hey, we've
been looking for a word better than "testing" for forever -- what do
you guys think about "integration"?) It's not necessarily a middle
ground between the stability of stable and the potential brokenness of
unstable. Things can stay broken in testing a lot longer than they can
in sid.
