And verily, didst Mike Rosing announce to the hordes:
This is standard ATA, not SATA. (software raid on /dev/hda2, /dev/hdb2 for the / partition (all others apart from /boot (/dev/hda1) are too, of course)
That's one of the reason's why it's so puzzling.
I was going to say I had exactly the opposite problems...
Can you view the /var/log/messages and /var/log/boot.log from the 2.6.x kernels? Try the boot, then use the rescue disk to read those files, or move them so they won't be clobbered by your 2.4 kernel. You might have hints in there.
Thanks for the idea, but... Alas, as I suspected, no logs. As the root filesystem isn't getting mounted, it can't mount /var for log writing either.
