I had this happen when I compiled an kernel for an athlon while sshed in to
a pentium machine (whoops) I was absolutely perplexed then I said "Doh! I
compiled for athlon but that box is a PII266!!" 

Also it might be that your kernel image is b0rken some other way (but that
is not likely to cause a reboot) it should just say something to the effect
of "This is not a valid kernel"

Try booting the rescue/install cd, mount the filesystems, chroot, recompile
your kernel and take care that the config is correct, and try it again.
