my athlon 2200 box will not boot this kernel either.  but it sure hangs
up earlier in the process (see my earlier posts looking for help a week
or so ago).

i was attempting to move from kernel 2174 to 2187. my 2187 was/is a
pristine rpm'd kernel.  no 3rd party drivers in it at all. 

this doesn't seem to be a good list to get much help with kernel
problems.
