When I've gotten this error, the following procedure has helped:
(This is from memory, and it's been a while, so don't mind details.)

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/card -t msdos #sda1 is my card reader
         #I specify msdos, not vfat, to avoid using long filenames
cd /mnt/card
mv zimage z; cp z zimage; rm z
mv initrd i; cp i initrd; rm i
mv params p; cp p params; rm p
cd
umount /mnt/card
