(If you moved zImage-2.2.1 back to zImage, adjust accordingly) Or perhaps it wants to see a RedHat style patch number as well: vmLinux-2.2.1-0.1 or so? I don't have RedHat installed, so I don't have mkbootdisk, and I'm just guessing, but how else does it know to get from a version number to a file name??? Read man mkbootdisk? If you have the command, there _should_ be a manpage for it.
