1st, the Sony Vaio Z505HS appears to be an example of a machine which will not boot a bzImage correctly, compaining about the compression format. 2nd, trying to build kernel 2.4.0, I stripped out or module-ized everything I could (I think) including SCSCI support, the smallest I've gotten zImage (under 600k) is still too big! I don't know what else to try. Thanks for any suggestions.
