bzImage kernels don't boot on some hardware

Debian 1.3 uses a bzImage kernel on its installation floppy. I have reports
from a number of users that bzImage kernels don't boot on their hardware from
either floppy or hard disk, but zImage kernels do. One of these users has an
IBM ThinkPad 365X 16MB. I'm tracking down what the others have.

Has anyone seen this?

Thanks

Bruce
