  Stock debian's 3.2.0-4-686-pae works.  Does that means that a self
compiled kernel that:

1. Using debian's config from the current-686-pae kernel, where cuurent
   is 3.10.11 at this time.
  and
2. Modifying the config to have: 
   CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP=y
   # CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ is not set 

is supposed to work?
