Are you using a DVD installation disc? The normal CD one only contains a i386 kernel as far as I know... Maybe Pentium M's have issues with some i686 instructions or something.... *shrug*
AFAIK Ubuntu don't offer a DVD installation. You just get a basic installation with the rest then coming from the on-line repository.
Googling about it seems that both P-M's and P4M's (which are different BTW) should be happy with i686 instructions, the only reference I can find to anything similar was a guy running a i686 kernel build on an AMD k7.
Seeing as the kernel is still an option in my bootloader, I may start it up again and take a closer look to see if I missed anything when I tried to change over to it...perhaps system.map or somesuch.
