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.

Jordan
