I had somewhat similar symptoms on a non-PAE enabled CPU some time ago. This was a Via C3 chip from approximately year 2007. IIRC, my machine just rebooted after unpacking the kernel. The workaround was to use a non-PAE ("486" series) kernel. As already suggested, try the USB stick on some "regular" computer, preferably one which has successfully booted similar kernels before.
