The kernel doesn't have any such "expectations". It's designed to work with a wide range of CPUs - including ones that aren't even Intel-compatible.
Now to Ian:
It seems to start up fine. Then, it pauses as soon as it gives me the output for detecting my processor (PentiumMMX 133mHz). It just plain stops.
It sounds to me very much as if you have APIC support turned on in the kernel. If so, turn it off and try again.
Be lucky,

Thanks for the input Neil, but unfortunately APIC is not the problem, as it was turned off.
I played around a little, and finally got the sucker to boot by turning off the framebuffer
and the splash options. I never guessed that they would have such an importance.
Thanks for all of the help!
Ian
