Ok, I'm trying to get a 2.6 kernel to boot on my desktop here at work.

I have tried 3 different kernels - 2.6.1, 2.6.2rc1, and arjanv's 2.6.1 kernel.

After the grub prompt, I get the grub kernel description, and then..

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

2.4 kernels boot and works fine; I've attached the dmesg output of one of it's boots.

Any ideas on what to try?

The /proc/cpuinfo shows:
