Does this zImage file mount the correct root partition?
the easiest way to make sure is to use rdev and tell this kernel image
what the root partition is:
rdev zImage /dev/hda1 <- for example if your root partition is /dev/hda1
rdev can also tell the kernel where your swap is and what video mode to go
into at bootup.
rdev -s zImage /dev/hdb4 <- set swap space to be /dev/hdb4
rdev -v zImage 3 <- use video mode 3 (-3 is the flag for query)
