As Sam Ravnborg suggested, I removed CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, which brought
the size down to normal (still around 4MB, but I guess that's just the
way it is in 2.6).  Also, startup appears a lot snappier.

Text is readable and stays in place, but horizontal lines keep
flashing randomly.  Maybe a monitor detection issue?  I've copied the
portion of the dmesg output that appeared relevant to me below, please
let me know if you need everything.

Ok, thanks.

Something else: pmud refuses to run, claiming there is "no sleep
support on this hardware".  Is this true, or does pmud need an update?

Regards, Jens.
