How old is the pentium? If its a pentium classic you need to set
CHOST=i586-pc-linux-gnu instead of i686. If you don't you get the
problem you are describing. I made the same mistake on a K6 system.

I don't know if this will help or not but if I was you, I'd check on USB 
if you have that compiled in or possibly your swap partition if there's 
no USB.
Below is a bit of my dmesg after 
Freeing unused kernel memory: 252k freed:

spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

This is exactly what happens when you forget to compile in console
support...you should double-check that.
