There is a compile-time option to modutils (modprobe, insmod, et al) that
permits gzipped kernel modules.  The INSTALL file from modutils-2.4.16
has this to say about it:

    [configure options]

    --disable-zlib          Handle gzipped objects?  Default is no.
                            You probably only need this if you are booting
                            a small root filesystem and the filesystem is
                            not compressed itself.

I know Slackware 7.1 and 8.0 enable this feature.
