I recently built my own kernels using make-kpkg and the Debian kernel sources (from testing) for 2.4.20 through 2.4.22.
For configuration, I've loaded my current 2.4.18-1-686 config and let it write out defaults for the new stuff. On one batch, I changed the processor to Pentium 4. Other times, I left it as 686.
All times, I got the following message, followed by a freeze:
-- calibrating APIC timer ... ..... CPU clock speed is 3056.6050 MHz. ..... host bus clock speed is 0 MHz. cpu: 0, clocks: 0, slice: 0
Try looking for the option that reads something like "Enable support for APIC on Uniprocessor" and turn it off, rebuild kernel and see if that solves the problem.
