Allow me to assert that rumor. My system fails to boot with bzImage. LILO
can't even load it. Never have been able to. Latest LILO rev, P75, AMI
BIOS.

That would be me, for one. And since the majority of people are probably
running zImages now, I'm betting a forced switch would reveal a lot more
people who have difficulty.
