2.0.x kernels work great(i'm running 2.0.25) but with any of the
2.1.x kernels( I've tried up through 2.0.10), I only get the
following:

Uncompressing Linux...Done.
Now booting the Kernel

At this point my computer freezes and I have to use the reset button.
What did I forget to do?

486 PCI motherboard with Pentium OD 83, 16MB RAM, and 2 IDE drives

Gnu C: 2.7.2.1
Binutils: 2.7.0.3
Libc: 5.4.11
libc++: 2.7.2.1
