It fails silently after unpacking the kernel.

Sorry, I was insufficiently clear on that.

So far I have tried:
Disabling all module functions
Disabling APIC
Recompiling for 386 rather than K7
Disabling all special video options (Framebuf, video mode select)

I have yet to try a completely minimal 386 config, that is my next step,
then I start putting printk()'s in to localise the hang more effectively.
