I added the nosmp option to /boot/grub/menu.lst:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-2-686-smp root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash nosmp
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.8.1-2-686-smp
...
and the machine refused to boot, it halted on loading initrd, right after
decompressing the kernel image I believe.

I'm now trying the plain 686 kernel instead of 686-smp, and seeing if that makes
a difference.
