Elvis,
I've done the same, and also compressed a couple of normal executables
too. I think the only issue is that the version of UPX which compresses
bootable kernels is still in Beta, and so according to their site, you
should not distribute that compressed kernel (yet).
I've had no problems so far... ;-)
cheers,
olly.
