Re: rh6.0 -- anyone downloaded a new kernel


>From linux/Documentation/kbuild/commands.txt:

Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files is that
'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different loading algorithm,
and thus has a larger capacity.  Both files use gzip compression.
The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big zImage', not for 'bzip'!
