Thanks again!
Because of the limitation of memory, I don't want to use YAMON.
Using gzip -9, I can get a kernel more small than the kernel made by "make zImage".
So I want to write a very simple bootloader and make a self-decompressed kernel.
But why everyone use "make zImage" instead of my method? That's what puzzles me?

Normally you manually gzip it -- but it will largely depend on what the
bootloader for your device expects. Incidentally, are you trying to
boot the kernel directly, or via something like U-boot or YAMON?
AFAIK these evaluation boards are not designed to directly boot a kernel.

Rich text emails -- in layman's terms. Couple of reasons for this:
* They do make the email slightly larger
* Not everyone can see HTML
* SPAM and Viruses commonly exploit HTML
Never mind though, as it seems your mail client has figured to use
plaintext already. ;-)
