Same here. just finished compiling it. tried to boot, hanged
same place you mentioned. PIII. IDE based system.
same problem I had with 2.3.23.
2.3.22 boots OK, but hangs on shutdown (not a big
problem).
So It looks something was introduced in 2.2.23 that is
making it hang on boot.

2.3.23 and 24 have a stupid bug that makes then not boot on UP machines
if they were compiled for SMP. Might that be the case for you?

Yes!
by default, make xconfig, showed SMP to be compiled into the kernel.
turned that to 'n', and now 2.3.24 does NOT hang on boot.
Also, no hang up after shutdown -h now, as was with the case with
2.3.22.
thanks Linus! this fixed the problem.

No. It is not.
angband:/usr/src/linux$ grep SMP .config
# CONFIG_SMP is not set
