Found a USB device, got the hardy live-usb image onto it, booted my AAO, mounted the harddrive
(mine has 120GB), chrooted, dpkg installed the .46 kernel, rebooted and I have my old AAO back.
Thanks again for the tips on this list. Hopefully someone will discover what is causing this kernel panic.
Just to restate, no combination of acpi=off/"acpi=off"/hpet=disable etc. on the kernel commandline would get my AAO to boot with the 2.6.24-23.48 kernel (1GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, came with 'doze XP). Tried it with external power and on batteries. Only way out was to boot from live-USB.
