That means that there isn't any ip forwarding or firewalling, for sure.

It looks like your kernel is too big for "zimage" - I'm not sure
what the maximum is.

You should probably use "make bzimage" in your case.  I don't
really know what the big difference between bzimage and zimage
is - but I'm sure there's some documentation somewhere.

I also use Manoj's "kernel-package" package to compile my kernels 
and make packages out of them - it's pretty slick, and I think it 
handles this (and many other things) automatically.

Cheers,
