I building minimal Grip Debian system
(under 5 secondes Xorg boot, running on cf card x300, slow machine 500Mhz)

and i'm searching for a boot loader able to boot uncompressed kernel

the size of the compressed kernel is 1.5 Mo and
vmlinux 2.5 Mo (uncompressed i think)

does anybody knows how to boot vmlinux (vmlinux.bin)
(lilo, grub seems to be unable to boot uncompressed image)

I guess the first things to ask would be what have you tried. have you tried to see if grub will just boot it like normal.
