no idea, yet. Does an older or newer kernel boot ? If yes, which kernel
version ?

I have a 2.6.24 kernel up & running, stock debian kernel from back
then.

ok, do you have a chance to test something newer preferred git-current ?

If you have a kernel I can try, sure. Building one is another story,
this machine isn't exactly fast nor quiet, as you probably know...

you could cross-build upstream kernels, e.g. with my cross-toolchain
for lenny: http://people.debian.org/~ths/toolchain/

I wish you had it built for amd64

I have a gcc 4.1 cross-compiler set up on another host, so I'm going
to use that. I'm building a stock 2.6.27 kernel ip22_defconfig now. If
that doesn't work, next step is a bisect between 2.6.24 and 2.6.26 on
the linux-mips git tree (is that OK for you Thomas? or should I be
doing something else?)

Interestingly, a vanilla 2.6.26 with the same .config as the debian
kernel does not hang and boots fine.

Working 2.6.26 vanilla gives:

[ 0.000000] early_node_map[1] active PFN ranges
[ 0.000000] 0: 32768 -> 98304
[17179569.184000] Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 64640

Which indicates a timer-related issue, most probably.
