The problem with bzip2 is that it needs lots of memory; which just isn't
available at boot time (real mode). If your kernel image is too large (ie
make zImage complains), you can use make bzImage or bzlilo instead, which
uses another method for loading (but is _not_ bzip2)

That might be possible, but you might have to hack the kernel yourself.
