sr> CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (551.25-MHz 586-class CPU)
sr>  Origin = "AuthenticAMD"  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12
sr>  Features=0x8021bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX>
sr>  AMD Features=0x80000800<SYSCALL,3DNow>

You could try turning off ATA dma at the boot loader
prompt and checking if the system is stable enough
to rebuild itself.

Alternatively, if the older kernel is stable you can just
boot back into it ('kernel.old' or whatever you named it)
and do the system upgrade.
