+\begin{itemize}
+    \item It is also possible to boot an uncompressed kernel:\\
+          \code{arch/<arch>/boot/Image}
+    \item This could be a worthy solution if you have a slow CPU
+	  and fast I/O, or if you're booting Linux in an emulated
+	  machine (hardware or software emulator).
+    \item On U-Boot on ARM, you won't be able to boot with the
+	  \code{bootz} command. You will need to use \code{bootm}
+	  and a \code{uImage} file.
