Loadlin works great with bzImage (thats how I boot Linux).

bzImage is the name make uses when it compiles a Kernel but that is
usually not the name the system uses.  In your distribution look for a
file called vmlinuz (usually in the root directory, sometimes in /boot),
this is just a renamed bzImage.  Loadlin will use any file name for the
Kernel (as long as it *IS* a Kernel).
