Kernel assumes 486



	Hello,
I recently installed Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.13 to a Compaq 386.
The base kernel (2.0.6) runs fine, but if I let dselect attempt
to install any other kernel, the system hangs on boot with a
message like:

	a 486 is assumed.  Giving up.

Both of these kernels have this "feature":

Xtr base  kernel-image <none> 2.0.6-0  Linux kernel binary image
Req base  kernel-image <none> 2.0.23 - Linux kernel binary image

I've also tried doing just:

dpkg -i ./local/SpecialKernels/kernel-image-2.0.23-0.i386.deb

The install goes ok, but the system hangs with the same problem.

Can anyone identify a kernel known to work with a 386?
I've searched recent archives and can't find anything
on this problem.

	TIA,
	Pat Kennedy, Indianapolis, IN
