There is an upper limit on the size of a zImage. Your zImage apparently
got above it. bzImage is a fix for this, it allow much bigger
kernels. Nothing to worry about at all, particularly considering that
your system boots fine.
If you want a zImage for some reason - use fewer features or put some
features in modules.
