>Description:
PMON on the Lemote Fuloong at least is unable to load the gzip compressed kernels we serve.
Either the longsoon kernels should be provided uncompressed - consumption of disk / network bandwidth resources goes up.
Make a note in documentation to uncompress the kernels before attempting to boot kernels
