Boot oddity

I've tested my kernel on three machines:
166Mhz (Pentium w/ MMX) Aptiva
600Mhz (Pentium 3?) Dell Inspiron 5k
1.5Ghz (Pentium 4) Homemade

The kernel works on the top too, but faults on the third. The odd thing is that it doesn't even get to the first line of the maini function (clear screen) it displays "FAULT!" amidst the BIOS output.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be?

maybe a missing 0x55 0xAA at the end of the boot sector ?
