How about giving us more info, what are you try to boot.

If the image was compiled for a Pentium or higher it won't work on a 486. 
RedHat ships 386 kernel while Mandrake ships 686, so try a standard RH
install disk.

The above line happen very early while booting, like the first couple
after LILO.  After there other lines?
