I just can add that I could reproduce the problem with kernels 2.2.17-pre5
and 2.4.0-test5-pre4. Both have size below 1 meg, both of type "bzImage"
You could undo the changes made in CVS step-by-step. Try to figure out
whether the kernel is loaded to a different location in memory (more
likely) or it's called in a different way than it used to be.
The former case (bad loading) can be debugged in the grub shell, without
reboots and debug prints.
