   Yes of course, as I didn't want to loose my only working kernel by mistake.

   I tend to avoid that, specially in situations like this where you don't want   
   to loose any data.

   I have tested all 3 of them on the machine, gzip, bzip2, lzmo and it's not   
   difference and all of them seems to have the same problem, even tried to   
   disable the compression, but then it did make a gzip anyway. The setup value   
   seems to be the same all the time, except for the one and only kernel that   
   boots.

   By default not, but I have tried that too, no difference.
