By the way, I for one use busybox for initramfs stuff, since a long time ago. And it (still?) does not support decompression of kernel modules, as of the latest (1.13) version... I don't think I'm alone using busybox this way, and it looks like decompression support should be added to it first, and next to the kernel.. ;)
