Oh dear. I've been around this one with Rebel.com (when they were Corel
Computer). They were basically decompresing and elf-loading the top-level
vmlinux file.
What is the reason for having your own compression scheme built into your
boot loader? It doesn't make sense when the kernel one is tried, tested
and proved to work.
Please explain why you thought it was a good idea.
