vmlinuz itself is 1821650 bytes, though, so I'm not sure why I'm running into this limit (is the uncompressed image really > 3.5 MB?).
Also - would I not run into the same problem if I tried to use the vmlinux image? And lastly - I'm using make-kpkg to create a custom kernel package for this. How can I have it use the vmlinux image instead of vmlinuz? Thanks again.
