Hi, Loadlin *_can_* load 2.6 kernels the usual way.
But... 2.6 kernels are big. And see documentation /usr/share/doc/loadlin/announce.txt.gz: 3. Because the kernel size is given as a 16 bit value (segment format) in the bootsector, the compressed size of the bzImage is limited to 0xffff0 Bytes (~1MB). Given a compression ratio of 1:2, which is quite realistic, the decompressed kernel can be about 2 Meg. So that people end up with a "invalid compressed format (err=1)" error message. This is only a limitation of loadlin now. I will probably try to address it and send a recompiled loadlin.exe.
