How-to build an UML kernel for LEAF Assuming you want to to bzip decompression, the correct flag (for standard, up-to-date versions of GNU tar, such as 1.13.25) is -j, not -I, much as the error message you got suggests. I have a hazy recollection that the -I flag was once used, and perhaps busybox tar still expects or allows it, but that's just a wild guess.
