I've struggled with various boot issues on old hardware, but never this early stages. Try with the latest 4.x - there were some big changes in 5.x that broke the kernel on certain old hardware - 486DLC, NexGen; this does not matter for you but the boot loader may also have changed. It might still be able to load a newer kernel though, so if it gives you the boot prompt you can swap disk if possible and let it boot the newer kernel from there?It would be kind of interesting to know whether it could boot an ancient windows boot CD if one of those could be found (would probably need to be something like windows95).
