Without it, a 64MB board will hang on boot (well, any 64MB TS board 
with two RAM chips, all of them AFAIK).

Are either of these boards 64MB?

If the discontig ram patch doesn't work: look for 'printascii' 
(sorry, don't recall where), un-comment it, and recompile your 
kernel.  It will then be much more verbose early in the boot process 
and give you an idea what's going wrong.  Really helps for early 
boot failures.
