1.3.67 refuses to boot on my system

Hi,

I downloaded a fresh copy of Linux 1.3.67 along with the bzImage
patch, level c. The resulting bzImage kernel refused to mount to root
filesystem on my Pentium 100, Intel Triton chipset. As soon as the VFS
mounted to root filesystem, I got an Oops which I couldn't record
anywhere. I did, however, get the EIP value, which was 1eb65f. Here is
the relevant portion of System.map:

001eb600 B tcp_statistics
001eb630 B dummy
001eb634 B udp_statistics
001eb644 B blk_dev <============ right here
001eb844 B initrd_start
001eb848 B initrd_end
001eb84c B ide_hwifs

I have also attatched my .config file. I would appreciate any
help with this matter.
Thanks!
