I had the same kind of messages when trying a Linux bzImage that has been
modified to be nbi compliant. All I suggest you to look for, since GRUB
doesn't recognize this file as a big Linux, is to see if this kernel has, in
some way, been modified. Vanilla bzImage means, for me, the very result of
the compilation of the Linux kernel, with absolutely _no_ modification.

Your problem might be something else. But be sure that the bzImage has not
been changed in a way. The problem is not with the size in itself, but with
GRUB doesn't understanding the data as being a big Image one.
