What happens if you boot using the rescue CD, chroot as prompted,
install an i586 kernel, and then boot from that?
Come to that, if you can get both disks in the machine at the same time,
boot using the rescue CD, copy the vmlinuz file and the initrd from
the scratch install onto the "good" disk, make a new entry for them in
/boot/grub/grub.conf, and try booting from *that* entry.
