Does it just stop, or does it print some kind of panic message and
then stop?

That's odd.  Has the system been working with other kernels?  Are you
using an initrd and forgot to update it for the new kernel?

There are many 2.4.22 kernels .
Is there a problem to freeing pages during the boot when this pages are
"defined" by an vma ?

att,
Breno

It's failing when the kernel first enters user space.

This often happens after a miscompilation, e.g. when some files are
not uptodate. Do a make distclean and try again.
