I tried linux-image-2.6-686 and linux-image-686 (for PentiumX machines).  
Both behave the same way. I see the kernel and initrd load, then nothing. 
The old 2.6.18 still boots right up.  I also tried going into the grub 
command-mode and doing a 'testload' on the kernels and initrd images. 
They appear to load just fine, but trying to actually 'boot' them sends 
the machine into never-never-land.  Definitely something this old box
doesn't like about the new kernal.
