Yet Closer

Don't you see anything at all, or does it hang after freeing PROM memory? There was a problem with the PROM memory freeing on newer PROM's, which Thomas recently solved. I don't think he has uploaded a new kernel since then..
I can probably upload a new one if this is your problem.
I think it's something else. Here's what I get (this is from ralf's suggestion, didn't quite work for me) :

Your /dev/console points to major 4 and minor 0 (5,1 is the correct one). Try the vmlinux-initrd kernel from the test directory. It should drop you into a single user shell with a ram disk as root. You should be able to mount your root, and fix what's necessary.

This device has completely bogus header. Compaq scores again :-|
It's a host bridge, but it should be called ghost bridge instead ;^)
