  I don't think the problem is in your kernel support, but in the fact that
you may have compiled it not using make zImage, which compresses the kernel.
That's probaby the cause, but of course, I don't guarantee that it isn't.  More
info can be found in the Kernel-HOWTO at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.

  Hope this helps,
