It says to avoid a certain hardware problem by using zImage instead of bzImage. But if the kernel is over a certain size (around 500K?) you are not allowed to make a zImage, only a bzImage. I have been renaming my bzImages to zimage and loadlin works anyway. Are these gzipped and bzipped files that loadlin can detect without .gz or .bz2 ?

a key (any key)... then "0x60" flew out of a rather rusty part of my
brain... fixed my problem and lead me to search for what all (if
anything other than the keyboard) is at 0x60 and i came across a
rather interesting page... might be of some use;
