Re: install troubles continue

Unless I am misunderstanding something here (easily possible) the only
difference between zImage and bzImage kernels is the inclusion of the
boot sector code at the beginning of the file.

If you use lilo or loadlin then you don't want the bzImage but if you
cat or dd the kernel image to a floppy then you do need the bzImage
(unless with dd you skip the boot blocks on the floppy of course).
