I had a similar issue when I was trying to install a new hard drive.
this was using 2.4.18, but the boot process would freeze during the
partition check. the problem on my end was solved by putting the drive
on a different channel... maybe you should see if that allows you to at
least boot, not that it helps to actually solve the problem.
