The fact that is has ARM support does not mean that it will work on
your particular board, using a particular ARM SoC. For sure the S3C2410
is supported. You didn't tell us which board you're using, so there's
no way we can tell you.

Depends on what configuration options you enable in the kernel, and how
small your zImage needs to be. Most likely on a S3C2410 based platform
you have enough flash space to handle a reasonably sized zImage.
