I have periodically built kernels that crashed immediately at the point you mention. Usually this was due to me choose configuration options that were incompatible with my machine's hardware. Another time, the machine wouldn't boot because I needed a new version of LILO. I also have seen at least one machine where I needed to specify "linear" as one of the options in lilo.conf. If you aren't specifying "linear" now, give it a try. IIRC, here's my litany of goofed configurations: Building support for multiple framebuffer devices. Apparently, the kernel would hang in the chip detection process. Wrong CPU architecture. Wrong IDE chipset specified. Built EXT2 as a module, but / was on an EXT2 partition. I may have hit some other bogus configurations over the last two years, but these are ones that come to mind.
