I've struggled with various boot issues on old hardware, but never this 
early stages. Try with the latest 4.x - there were some big changes in 
5.x that broke the kernel on certain old hardware - 486DLC, NexGen; this 
does not matter for you but the boot loader may also have changed. It 
might still be able to load a newer kernel though, so if it gives you 
the boot prompt you can swap disk if possible and let it boot the newer 
kernel from there?
