Good on my desktop: 
/bzImage-2.6.9-rc2-mm4-VP-S7

Bad on my desktop:
vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-1.520.1vS7.ll.rhfc2.ccrma

Keep in mind that I don't know how to optimize this kernel. What
options are available? I don't have any documentation so most likely
it's jsut problems caused by not knowing what to turn on and off. Is
everything the same as mine?

I think I didn't communicate this very well. Sorry. On my Gentoo
laptop my grub.conf line looks like

kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-blah

but on my FC2 machine it made me enter it like the comment at the top
of grub.conf:

kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage-blah

(I.e. - missing the path /boot)
