Okay, I've been googling, and doublechecking my errors, and I have a
different 
question.

First the generalities:

Debian Woody, rebuilding kernel.  I use loadlin.
I rebuilt the kernel, copied /vmlinuz-2.4.18 to the dos directory
"vmlinuz"
and rebooted -- got

"Uncompressing Linux \ Invalid compressed format (err = 1) \ -- system
halted."

Nice message and all [BTW... I got back in with an *old kernel* boot.]

So googling around, I found that others cannot use vmlinuz with loadlin
either.  It seems vmlinuz is not a bzImage.  So I have a few questions
here.  
Answers to any would be helpful.

(1) How do I make bzImage?  is there a flag to set with dpkg?  Or should
that be at a different stage?  Or do I have to do everything by hand
[and if so, how]?
(2) Is there a way to set Loadlin to handle vmLinuz?

Thanks,
  Mike
