I assume that you don't have enough RAM. If I remember
correctly, your 486 machine only has 8 MB of RAM, which
is not enough to load a GENERIC kernel nowadays. You
will have to compile a smaller kernel by removing all
things that you don't need.
Making progress. With my custom kernel, the system makes it to the beastie menu.
After selecting an option, the screen clears (no kernel text displayed), after
which the 486 is restarted. Works fine on modern computer though. What now?
[ATTACHMENT] is my kernel config. Something that might be needed or is redunant?
Oh and.. should I be using 5.1 over 6.2?
