However, taking the 2.2.20 source and the config
file associated with the generic image, changing only the
subarchitecture (?) from generic to lx164, gives a kernel
which just won't boot.  No problems compiling, fortunately,
but MILO just complains that the kernel can't be booted, period.

You need to disable "Use SRM as bootloader." I believe a generic kernelcan boot from either SRM or MILO, but machine-specific kernels need thisoption set properly.
