New instructions, different instruction timings.
Well, apparently how I compiled the kernel doesn't have anything to do with it, because I used the same kernel that I boot the hard drive with (so I know it works) and the CD won't boot that one either, with the same error. So perhaps it's something about where I put the kernel on the drive (I tried it in both the root and in /boot) or how it's written there? Or maybe the boot loader itself?
