I suggest you to put debug messages after every significant stage.
You can use prtstr function from setup.S for that
UNLESS you entered protected mode (compressed/head.S)
Then you will have to write to serial port directly.
If you get to the end of setup.S, and didnot get into compressed/misc.c,
then this is surely A20 problem (code in head.S checks whether A20
is enabled and loops forever if it isn't)

Then I suggest to figure out how A20 is enabled on your system,
refer to documentation or himem.sys from DOS-ROM.
Possibly it is enabled through other IO port than I wrote (not 0x92).

Konstantin
