Alan,
The problem, if I remember correctly, is that some kernels end up gzipping exceptionally good and therefore require lots of space during decompression. Wouldn't it be an idea to change the gzip -9 in arch/i386/boot/compressed/Makefile to something like gzip -5 (Or better yet, just gzip)? This will cause a slight kernel size increase, but allows it to decompress in all cases.....
Roger.
