I had somewhat similar symptoms on a non-PAE enabled CPU some time ago.
This was a Via C3 chip from approximately year 2007. IIRC, my machine
just rebooted after unpacking the kernel. The workaround was to use a
non-PAE ("486" series) kernel.

As already suggested, try the USB stick on some "regular" computer,
preferably one which has successfully booted similar kernels before.
