It's a NexGen CPU, thich I think is a 486-class CPU. Also, you're using a custom kernel; does GENERIC work okay? If it does then rebuild the kernel for this box and include all the CPU types. The GENERIC kernel is usually installed as /kernel.GENERIC unless you removed it, so try typing '/kernel.GENERIC' at the boot: prompt and see if it comes up okay.
