    /boot/vmlinux.gz should be the correkt gzipped kernelfile, I can't imagine
    where /boot/vmlinuz comes from (There is no such kernelfile on SuSE 6.3,
    at least I didn't find one)
    So, which kernel did you install ?

    /boot/bootlx is the aboot bootsector image, that is copied to the
    bootsector by swriteboot.
