kalo 'b' dalam bzImage artinya bukan bzip2 compression, tapi big allocation.
kompresinya masih tetep pake gzip, cuman alokasi blok memorinya lebih besar
jadi bisa untuk menampung kernel image yang gede.

Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files is that
'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different loading algorithm,
and thus has a larger capacity.  Both files use gzip compression.
The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big zImage', not for 'bzip'!
