I know only about kernel2.2 .
On the version, boot image is the same as "zImage+ramdisk.image.gz",
that is called zImage.initrd, and this is named as "boot.img" on debian.
Boot from FDD, CDROM, HDD and Bootp, this zImage works as a loader itself.
# Very thanks for Cort Dougan.
So, I can mage installer ISO image for potato past.
That image makes from boot.img on Windows.
You have to do is only make kernel for PReP.
But, The kernel needs some FB supports, for IBM machines.
That is called "calorina patch".
Sorry, I cannot help to make kernels.
I would be a hard days for graduation.
#I must graduate the University on March :-)
Best regards.
