When you compiled your kernel, did you type "make zImage?"  If so,
that created a file called zImage that is a compressed version of the
kernel.  (vmlinux is the uncompressed version.)  Look in
../linux/arch/i386/boot and see if zImage is there.  When you find it,
copy it to vmlinuz and try that with loadlin.
