just found a nugget in the README... wonder why bzImage wouldn't work for me :(
Kernel <name> is too big
The kernel image (without the setup code) is bigger than 512 kbytes
(or 448 kbytes, if built with LARGE_EDBA ). LILO would overwrite
itself when trying to load such a kernel. This limitation only applies
to old kernels which are loaded below 0x10000 (e.g. "Image" or
"zImage"). Try building the kernel with "bzImage". If this is
undesirable for some reason, try removing some unused drivers and
compiling the kernel again. This error may also occur if the kernel
image is damaged or if it contains trailing "junk", e.g. as the result
of copying an entire boot floppy to the hard disk.
Regards
L.
