[ale] Kernel hangs at "Uncompressing Linux..."

Good morning,

   I've been building kernels for a few years now, but I've
got one that has stumped me. I've got an Athlon XP1800+
motherboard (Epox 8KHA+) that I'm building a 2.4.19
kernel for. I tried to make everything as generic as possible,
no patches, etc. The options I chose were also very generic.
I did the usual,

make dep clean bzImage modules
make install
make modules_install

fixed up lilo.conf, and rebooted. Everytime I select the new kernel
for booting it hangs right after the line,

Uncompressing Linux kernel ...

   I've been searching the web this morning, but without much
in the way of results. Does anybody have any ideas?

TIA,

Jeff
