Many versions of nettrom get confused by compressed kernels (zimage/vmlinuz), mistaking them for a ramdisk. That is why the default is 'vmlinux' and not 'vmlinuz'. In the interst of reducing boot problems I would recommend that the instructions remain as-is (default vmlinux), and that the Debian kernel be compiled with 'make Image' instead of zImage. -R -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
