Booting problems

[Robert Rati <ratirh@cs.purdue.edu>]

A friend of mine is having problems booting for some reason.  He makes a
kernel and uses a boot disk to boot Linux, and we just tried compiling the
2.2.1 kernels on his machine.  Now the boto disks says "Loading Linux" and
just stops.  We've tried compiling the 2.0.34 kernels, which is what he
was using before this happened, and the same problem keeps happening.
We've tried multiple disks, but can't get any kind of a different
action.  He doesn't want to use lilo (who knows why) and we use the
standard

make dep clean zImage modules modules_install install

to compile a kernel.  Anyone have any ideas as to why this keeps happening
and a way to fix it?
