Hi all,
The reason is, I tried without compressing. I made elf image and did not execute (make bzimage) and copied all the kernel and symbols to /boot dir and modified config file and tried to boot the kernel. I got two errors 1. insufficient memory 2. did not boot. What is the reason. thank you.

to read the uncompressed image from disk. So, in other words, to save time.
