in theory, 2.4-vintage mainline kernel should be buildable for your system. try it

I should've been more clear. Sure, I started my Linux days on 2.0.36, which booted by floppy, on a Pentium 2. But what I want is some semblance of a distro, with tools and a way to do things, not just rolling my own technically-bootable kernel.

Note that i386 does not mean that the 386 is supported. Distros have removed support for 386 for many years, and some for 486 for years as well.
