I figured out my mistake. LINT is bad. I should have used the GENERIC kernel when recompiling... Well anyway, after many aborted attempts due to "Write failure on transfer" errors. I still haven't figured out why that happens. Whatever it is, it's lame. Right now I can fix it by switching the installation CD from one drive to the other and/or restarting the machine. Well anyway, right now I'm in the process of recompiling the kernel with USB mouse support and sound enabled... I'm crossing my fingers...
