Maybe because the kernel was compiled for another system, not for a laptop
which has a very different architecture from a normal Personal computer. Try
building a new kernel for the laptop then make the floppy!!!

Also the kernel may be trying to boot to the drive and partition it was
compiled on, which may be the wrong partition for your laptop. You may
need to use 'rdev' to tell vmlinuz on the floppy which partition is / on
the laptop.
