The older 'zImage' loader loads the kernel into low memory (DOS 640K mem) and then uncompresses it into extended memory. The newer 'bzImage' loader uncompresses the kernel as it loads, so there is no size restriction of requiring the kernel to be a compressed image smaller than 640K.
You can use the newer loader by specifying 'make bzlilo' instead of 'make zlilo'.
However, the new loader doesn't work on every system; there are occasional strange compatibility issues. If you find them, please report them to the list.
