That Motherboard does ATA100 AFAIK.Even if it does only ATA66(it does
that 
for sure) the regular kernel won't do it.You need to get the ide flavour
of boot floppies from the ftp site .
 As for the Compaq 1220 that's a MediaGX chip.Those chips were weird,no
clue why
it won't boot though.You can try a search for MediaGX on archives and
see what gives.
