My nForce2 board with Athlon-XP boots fine with 2.6.1 kernels. I think you may
be missing something else, such as the devpts entry in /etc/fstab. All you
really need to do is boot the ISO and open the shell (you don't need to chroot
or anything), then mount your root partition, modify /etc/fstab, unmount,
reboot, and you should be fine.
