Sorry developers.
:-[ It appears as though my Motherboard freaked out.
After rebooting with kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl to get dmesg output, none
of my kernels would boot properly.
After checking everything a bunch of times, still no joy. I tried a few
BIOS settings, to make sure that the RAM and CPU were not being over
driven {1.7GHz Celeron and 333MHz DDR}, still no joy. Lowered memory
speed in steps down to 200MHz then everthing seems to work again.
Weird!
I better check to make sure Bill Gates wasn't in my office. :-)
Me thinks, me might want to get me a new motherboard.

The Bill Gates part was a joke, he couldn't pay me to use his cruft. You guy's mustn't have heard the "redneck tech support call" wav that was going around a couple years ago.
Have a nice day
