Does milo seems to load the kernel before rebooting? If yes, the
problem may be simple to solve: when I first created the rescue disks,
I found no milo for mikasa, so I assumed it was a SRM-only
machine. And the kernel on the rescue disk is compiled for SRM. I
will generate a new rescue disk for MILO. Hope it will work.

As far as I know, there is almost no hope an another rescue disk will
work. You probably cannot try the redhat kernel as it looks to be for
SRM only also. You may want to try to install SRM on your Mikasa or
wait that I upload a new kernel and rescue disk.
