Clearly explained. Thanks.
The gzipped versions are the ELF vmlinux run through gzip. It needs an external agent to decompress and parse it before transferring control.
As for the differences with pvgrub, I'm not familiar with it.
That 'external agent', and it's presence, or lack, in PVGRUB is something I'll explore.
'what' is now in hand.
Any reason *why* the opensuse -xen kernels are NOT 'delivered' as bzImages, whereas the -default are?
