Two things.
One, Switch to grub... youll be much happier.
Two, make sure you have your filesystem compiled into the kernel, not as
a module. Also your ide-chipset(as per a earlier poster) and all other
relavent config options. I would recommend starting with your .config
from the known working kernel. It can be found in /boot just copy it
over to linux/.config and make menuconfig and go straight to your
ide-chipset and set it to compile in and then your file system and set
it to compile in. Then you can play around with everything else. Also
try keeping acpi and apm out untill you get a known working kernel.
Other than that maybe copy down the acctual error your getting durring
the boot process.
