I'm concerned that my windows program failed to send the kernel properly. I haven't had anyone report any issues with it that made a kernel fail, assuming it was a good kernel file and the COM port was working right.

Did it show a big "happy face" symbol at the end of the download, but it failed anyway?

Also, sometimes there are issues with downloaded files- did you by any chance try to send it the gzipped version of the file without unzipping it first? (I dunno, linux might automatically unzip the file for you whereas windows doesn't?) Or perhaps the file got downloaded in ascii mode instead of binary or something?
