	Me 3, also a 486.... Kernel from same source boot fine on my Pentium...
	I should probably try booting the 486 kernel on the P5 to see if it 
	gets further...  (although, because of differing config files it
	shouldn't be able to get *much* further...)

	In my case, the keyboard also seems wedged tight, as toggling
	CAPS-LOCK doesn't update lights...

	Also, as someone else noted, I *do* have swap set up to go to a device
	that isn't there right now in the 486 kernel, which might be an issue.
