Has anyone seen a similar problem?

a FAQ or HOWTO around which is supposed to help with laptops.

I also had a similar problem on an old Ultra 386/SX laptop. I was finally
able to install by using my main machine to compile a very generic kernel.
I'm not sure what I took out that solved the problem though. If you have
the means then:
1. create the new kernel, zImage, with as few options as possible
(RAMDISK support is required!!)
2. mount your rescue floppy with the kernel image on it, usually named
linux
3. cp {source_root}/arch/i386/zImage /mnt/linux, or wherever you mounted
the floppy.
Hope this helps.
