There is a compile-time option to modutils (modprobe, insmod, et al) that
permits gzipped kernel modules. The INSTALL file from modutils-2.4.16
has this to say about it:
[configure options]
--disable-zlib Handle gzipped objects? Default is no.
You probably only need this if you are booting
a small root filesystem and the filesystem is
not compressed itself.
I know Slackware 7.1 and 8.0 enable this feature.
