Re: Problem with kernel 2.4.x upgrade

Did you run the buildit.s to install the new kernel and change all
instances of bz2bzImage to bzImage in setttings.s and buildit.s?

The default tomsrtbt uses bzip2 kernel and ramdisk compression,
the default 2.4.x kernel does not support it, the buildit.s will
use gzip instead of bzip2 if you do it right, you cannot just swap
the kernel with an unpatched 2.4.
