Are you sure you didn't also kill some of the "cpu" lines as well?  The first 
time I built a kernel (2.0.5) I only enabled the 486 and had the exact 
same problem.  Try leaving "I386_CPU" in along with your CPU of choice, 
recompile, and see what happens.  Not as efficient, but assuming it works, 
you can find the sysinsall code and recompile it later.

corections welcomed,
