bzimage.big is BL3 image (2.2.26 kernel) compiled with all the options.

bl2 comes with kernel 2.2.16 from Slackware 7.1.

I compiled a bunch of 2.4.31 kernels for use with either BL,
along with modules, posted at http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl
http://keesan.freeshell.org/blfiles.htm lists info about them.

For laptops made since about 1997 I use bzimlafb.431 - with vesafb 
framebuffer.

Framebuffer with fbcon and associated modules gives more lines on a page 
in good lookingg text, in terminal, also mplayer -vo fbdev without x11.

As I posted recently, you can also borrow 2.4 kernels and modules from 
another linux (they should be used as a set - same kernel number is not 
enough).

Eventually I will figure out how to use the 2.6 kernel and modules.
