that is why, yaboot does not support anything but plain uncompressed
ELF vmlinux kernels. such as the one in the root of the kernel source
tree after compilation. none of the images in arch/ppc/boot will work
with yaboot (or a newworld).
bzImage is a kludge workaround for the broken x86 archetecture, its
not relevant for anything but x86. zImage is useful on some powerpc
sub-archs, the coff image is bootable directly from OF on oldworlds
for example.

yes, you can only load yaboot once, once its loaded you must reboot if
it dies. this is actually fixable im looking into it.

use kernel-package to build kernel .debs it makes this much simpler
and harder to screw up.
