Hi Andrew, I recently installed slink on a Thinkpad 560 too. I'm using kernel 2.2.5 however, I think your problem could just be the bzImage. Have you tried using a zImage instead? Many laptops have a problem loading the bzImage compressed kernels--I believe that the tecra boot disk uses a zImage. Anyway, I use my own customized kernel 2.2.5 with pcmcia-modules and pcmcia-cs packages compiled from the pcmcia-source package in potato. That's because the version of pcmcia-source in slink does not support the 2.2.x kernels. Thanks.
