I experienced this with my i486/50 DX2. I was compiling the GENERICAH kernal and getting the same panic trap. What I found strange was that I could compile it on my friend's AMD 386/40, and it would work fine. The answer seemed to be going to the SYSCONS config. I tried it once, also using the -m486 -O2 options (for whatever that's worth), and it worked first time. In fact, I was having a problem with my keryboard at boot time (something reported by Gateway 486 users), and the SYSCONS config seemed to solve that, too. I strongly recommend trying this config, before you do anything else.
