Hi Giles,

gzip and bzip2 use Huffman coding (frequent symbols are coded with smaller
representations). It seems like the kernel is having trouble starting, or
even initializing its gzip/bzip2, to decompresses itself...

Check that your virtualization environment is simulating the type of
machine the install image is expecting (CPU architecture, hopefully not too
exotic bus hardware etc.).
