Any pointers are obviously welcome.

My suggestion would be to disconnect as many peripherals as possible and
to try with the latest Knoppix CD if possible.

Done that and the same result.

So on the first try, do not even have the hard disks connected, just
try booting up from a CD in a single attached CD/DVD reader with just
the video card in the machine (as far as expansion cards are concerned).

Same result.

Then if that works, connect one hard disk and try again.

I trust you have checked that the memory is correctly seated?

Yes. And replaced them in various order.

You could also try with just one memory stick in, and then gradually
add the others, one by one to see if that causes any trouble.

Nothing differently.
