I notice that you are running a 486 class kernel, which might indicate

No, the machine does support 686, and normally I run 2.6.24-1-686.
However, the only way to get the machine to boot right now is using the
debian rescue cd + chroot, which uses a different kernel
Try regenerate your ramdisks on the machine you actually need them.
To be sure, I zapped all my ramdisks, and then re-created them from inside
a chroot into my normal system, from the debian rescue cd. The same
problem remains
The initrds were all generated using update-initramfs
That command is part of an alternative ramdisk generator,
initramfs-tools.
OK, looks like I might be confused. I'll re-run dpkg-reconfigure on the
kernel tonight, and check it really is using yaird as I thought it was.
(I've tried several different things...)
One of the problem initrds can be downloaded from
http://urchin.earth.li/~nick/initrd-2.6.24-1-686
That address did not work for me. Please doublecheck if it is correct.
Sorry, the perils of trying to write a bug report on a broken system. The
URL should be:
http://urchin.earth.li/~nick/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
