Your machine is dying probing things after the initial PCI scan - the 1039:4107 is a PCI device Linux doesnt recognize and will thus ignore.
Your machine is I suspect dying because the interrupt handling or memory mapping are non standard. Probably the latter - this could be due to non standard timer chips or other components.
There is a tiny chance it is the PCI scan - perhaps a bug in the PCI bios. Get a kernel image with no PCI from someone and try that. That'll still boot a fairly functional system. If it works then there are patches to fix some compaq PCI bugs on www.linuxhq.com - pray yours are the same.
