Thanks for explaining why the kernel comes from where it does. I have been trying to figure that one out. When does it get compressed and called zImage? Thanks again.. Michael Clark wrote:

thing that I did on my first few attempts to manually compile my own kernels was trying to install the uncompressed kernel. When I would compile the kernel, I would copy the kernel to /vmlinuz and run lilo.
/usr/src/linux/vmlinuz about 870k, kernel too big
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage about 360k, works great!! :-)
It sounds like this may be the problem. If not, maybe this will save someone else headaches.
