They are created during a kernel build (make dep make ). vmlinuz is a linux kernel. Some distros use this while others use bzImage. Wen I move bzImage to /boot I usually rename the Gentoo bzImage to vmlinuz-x.y.z where x.y.z is a version such as 2.4.20. I'm just used to seeing vmlinuz

I'm not too knowledgable in this area but I'm pretty sure the other two answers you've got so far are (in part) wrong. I did my first x86 install and kernel build the other day and found this info myself after trying to figure out why the x86 and ppc kernel procedures were different. (So I can

You haven't made a mistake. You can name them anything you want so long as the lilo.conf or grub conf files have the right name. Distros like Caldera used vmlinuz for the kernel name, Gentoo has bzImage. I name mine vmlinuz-2.4.20-XFS for example or vmlinuz-2.4.20-XFS-test - it helps me keep
