*SIGH*  That's exactly what I'm doing, "the debian way", except that I
also run one additional step, "make BzImage" if I want a BzImage.  No
matter whether I use the kernel BzImage or VmLinuz, I get the error
mentioned at bugs.debian.org/loadlin 

The image does not work with Loadlin, it's compression is wrong.

So... back to the original question:  What other alternatives are out
there, that I can use instead of Loadlin, and what are their
characteristics?

  Thanks.
