You might suffer from the file corruption problem. The newer kernels
are not very reliable with some hard disks and files may get corrupted
when written to the disk. Try installing again. It may not work even
then, I had to install the biggest parts of the compiler on a floppy
to be able to compile the kernel with HD_DELAY set in hd.c. That
helped a little.

Yes, bash uses .profile. Bash actually is the standard shell with linux.
