If you're compiling you're own kernel, I'd strongly suggest you use a
locally installed makeImage tool rather than cast-o-matic to create
your boot disks. Makeimage is included in the udpcast rpm, and is
documented at http://udpcast.linux.lu/mkimagedoc.html

Makeimage is also included in the udpbusybox tar file at
http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/udpbusybox-20040417.tar.gz
