put both I586 and I686 for your CPU.

please be more verbose about panic messages if possible, I happen to 
KNOW it tells you more data before it reboots.

but.... "how do i boot my system if i hosed my kernel?"

at the bootloader hit a key, then type:

boot kernel.old

or try

boot kernel.GENERIC

good luck,
