It is highly recommended that you boot the 1.2.13 kernel b4 you attempt to recompile your kernel.
ALL 1.3.xx kernels are Beta and do cause protection-faults all over the place with the newer bios.  
Unless you really know what you are doing ( i.e. you are a kernel programming wizard ) avoid this kind of 
stuff.  

After you have installed the 1.2.13 kernel, you need to do the following:

	make clean
	make config

**NOTE: In make config here you want -m486 optimizations also you have a math-co processor ( as it is 
built-in the 486 chip )

	make dep
	make zlilo
