--- Comment #2 from Alexander Enchevich <a.enchevich@gmail.com> ---
Reading the above perhaps a quick clarification is in order to help understand
why I believe the vmlinuz produced by buildroot is significantly smaller then
it should be (and hence, IMO, is missing the initial ram disk):

Good vmlinuZ (from Broadcom):
compressed:    6 MB
uncompressed: 13 MB


Good vmlinuX (from buildroot):
compressed:    9 MB
uncompressed: 21 MB


BAD vmlinuZ (from buildroot):
compressed:    9 MB (8.8)
uncompressed:  9 MB (8.7)
