This is one of the most cryptic Linux kernel errors that I've ever had the
joy of solving.(you can tell my kernel forays have been limited.)

When you compile a new kernel, you don't want to copy
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux into /boot as your new kernel. You need to find
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and use that. I think the vmlinux is
pre-compression, but the one in arch/i386/boot is the one to use in any
case.
