No, wait - it was just me making a schoolbody mistake again. :-)
I forgot to switch off the eth1 (iSCSI SAN) interface at boot-time, along 
with the iscsi inits (because they were started up by the initrd image).

Switched those off and now it boots fully! :-)

It throws up a worrying error when it boots:
GFS: fsid=cluster:root.0: warning: assertion 
"gfs_glock_is_locked_by_me(ip->i_gl)" failed
GFS: fsid=cluster:root.0 function = gfs_readpage
GFS: fsid=cluster:root.0 file = 
/builddir/build/BUILD/gfs-kmod-0.1.16/_kmod_build_/src/gfs/ops_address.c, 
line 279
GFS: fsid=cluster:root.0: time = 1192119131

I wonder if this may be caused by a file system perhaps not having been 
cleanly unmounted on a previous try while I was building it...
