1. "does not boot successfully" is extremely vague.
Please supply a boot log or decoded kernel oops.

2. Does this also occur with 2.6.1 or 2.6.2-rc1?
If so, what was the last standard 2.6 kernel that worked?

3. Does 2.4.25-pre6 work?

4. Try a minimal .config w/o any non-essential features.
(Where non-essential mean anything not needed to boot
and get to a login prompt.)
