I'll give that a try, but it is the GENERIC kernel.  I haven't had
problems booting since I kept the old inode format to install on.

Like I wrote above, it's the 1.5.2 GENERIC kernel.  A friend burned the
CD for me so I can't say exactly where he got what he d/l'd and burned,
but it boots fine now.  Having it run with without crashing seems to be
another matter.  Removing the external CD-ROM seems to help though. 
Often ps will hang the machine, but not always.
