Can't boot: "hda: lost interrupt" after possibly screwing up kernel.

    I am (was) running Debian testing on an Athlon 1100. Since I last
    successfully booted, I added the hotplug package and the line usb-storage
    to /etc/modules. I was trying to get sensors to work, which downgraded my
    kernel (from 2.4.23) to 2.4.20. I then removed kernel-image-2.4.20 and
    added kernel-image 2.4.23-i686.

    Now my machine won't finish booting. It appears to load the kernel,
    recognizes all the drives, then goes into this:

    hda: attached ide-disk driver.
    hda: lost interrupt
    hda: lost interrupt
    ....
    hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
    hda: DMA interrupt recovery
    hda: lost interrupt
    EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
    hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
    hda: DMA interrupt recovery
    hda: lost interrupt
    hda: dma_timer_recovery: dma status = 0x64
    hda: DMA interrupt recovery
    hda: lost interrupt
    ....

    /boot still contains the 2.4.23-i386 files. Or is it a module problem?

    I am extremely desperate to get this fixed as I need to get some work done
    tomorrow! Where can I get a good Debian rescue disk? (The links on
    http://www.debian.org/releases/potato/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html
    are invalid.) Is that the correct approach?

    Help would be very gratefully appreciated!
