[plug] Compiling

[Vic Bitter]

Just my little bit
I had to use bzImage when I compiled my kernel using RH 6.0
Maybe when you  compile a kernel with zImage and its too big not only will
you get an error message but zImage is not actually created.
Other people on this post should know a bit more about this.
