Re: boot uncompressed linux image on i386 arch.

[Pazzo Da Legare]

Dear Adrian,

but bzImage is not a gzipped kernel. Or maybe I'm wrong?
I know bzImage has is made by a payload (compressed) plus code to uncompress it.
Are you referring to other compilation result other than bzImage?

TIA for your help
