I guess you are seeing it just hanging at "Uncompressing Linux... done,
booting the kernel."?

I guess the way around that is to install the u-boot loader package.

Alternatively CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA=y will get the kernel zImage size back
within size limits that will boot on n900.

Hmm, I'm a bit puzzled. For me, .38 works but .39-rc1 does not, and I
can't see any "special" limit exceeded. Also LZMA is broken:

	Uncompressing Linux...

	LZMA data is corrupt

	-- System halted

I did some bisecting, and with the following commit reverted -rc1 works:

	commit d239b1dc093d551046a909920b5310c1d1e308c1
	Author: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@xxxxxxxxxx>
	Date:   Mon Feb 21 04:57:38 2011 +0100

	ARM: 6746/1: remove the 4x expansion presumption while decompressing the kernel

With the revert, also bigger gzipped kernel works.
