¿bzip? :-? bzImage usa gzip igual que zImage :-)) De
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/commands.txt:

Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files is that
'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different loading algorithm,
and thus has a larger capacity.  Both files use gzip compression.
The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big zImage', not for 'bzip'!
(...)
Some computers won't work with 'make bzImage', either due to hardware
problems or very old versions of lilo or loadlin.  If your kernel image
is small, you may use 'make zImage', 'make zdisk', or 'make zlilo'
on theses systems.
