I hate elves. If I see any elves in my computer I'm throwing it in the forge.

Eh, .elf is more for really low level ELF files, so a program would just be named program, a kernel would be named kernel.elf

i dont know how to tell you this, but vmlinuz-linux is not an elf file

elf is for programs running under a kernel
