^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The last statement is no longer necessary with 2.4.x kernels and WS 3.1

What its saying is the bzImage is not compressed properly for some reason.
Did you issue the comand :: make bzImage
Did you after the make was finished :: cp arch/i386/boot /bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.x
Did you also run after make modules_install ::
/usr/libexec/modules.mkinitrd.sh 2.4.x

NO, NO, no
