Most kernels are bzImages. If when you run file on it and it says x86
boot sector then it likely is a bzImage. Examples:
[sflory@vulcan linux]$ pwd
/usr/src/linux
[sflory@vulcan linux]$ file vmlinux arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18pre11-va2.0smp-paranoid
vmlinux: ELF 32-bit LSB executable,
Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, not stripped
arch/i386/boot/bzImage: x86 boot sector
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18pre11-va2.0smp-paranoid: x86 boot sector
[sflory@vulcan linux]$
