Interesting data points:
	Slackware and Redhat boot floppies work fine.
	The same kernel that wouldn't boot from a Debian boot disk
worked fine when copied onto a DOS partition and started with
Loadlin.  I'd suspect that DOS was initializing something in the
laptop if it weren't for the other boot disks working.
