(Get the code!)
I'm more than a little embarrassed to say this but, I've just got it to work by adding a single kernel option:
noapic
I can't believe I didn't try this before, sorry. So, the Dell Dimension C521 needs noapic as a boot option.
=== strange 2.6.17 + feisty SSL issues===
In case a developer is reading this, an interesting side point is that while 2.6.17 was running, firefox had tremendous issues with SSL. This was really strange. So for example, every other launchpad page would fail with "the connection was reset" as the error. A tcpdump showed my own machine sending out tcp resets immediately for most of the connections it started. By contrast, if I tried to download a page directly using the openssl command line, this worked totally reliably, as did w3m. Only firefox had the problem, presumably because firefox has its own SSL implementation. This was only seen with 2.6.17 + feisty and seems to be gone now with 2.6.20.
