*SIGH* That's exactly what I'm doing, "the debian way", except that I also run one additional step, "make BzImage" if I want a BzImage. No matter whether I use the kernel BzImage or VmLinuz, I get the error mentioned at bugs.debian.org/loadlin The image does not work with Loadlin, it's compression is wrong. So... back to the original question: What other alternatives are out there, that I can use instead of Loadlin, and what are their characteristics?
