What processor does it use ? (386 or 486 perchance?)

AMD K6. New ones will use Athlon.

AMD K6 (so 586) - I was trying the i386 version of the kernel on it
though, if that's going to be a problem, I can try the 586 version...

I was asking because the 2.4.0 kernel has a bug that causes it to fail on
386 and 486 CPUs with the same symptoms as you described. I don't know
much about the K6, so I can't tell whether it will fall into the same trap (I
guess it won't).
Nevertheless, if you want to be sure, try the latest (pre8) patch from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/
that particular bug has been fixed in that version.
Good Luck
Rob
