I have finally worked out what was happening: my "Subarchitecture type" had somehow become set to
the default "Generic architecture" instead of "PC-compatible". I have no idea how! I now get the
following boot log with 2.6.24.3, although it still has a "feature" when it comes to enabling the
APIC timer:
