Yup
You need to compile your kernel for a 486 and with 'kernel math emulation'
turned on!
If you can't boot to your old 1.2.13 kernel, email me and we can discuss
recovery off line!
Otherwise, boot to your old kernel (things will be broke possibly - but
you *should* have a functional system).
Get the 2.0.x sources from sunsite or your favourite mirror and
recompile.
