Take a look at mkimage (apt-get install uboot-mkimage on Debian and 
friends), this way you can look at the image:

$ mkimage -l   uImage
Image Name:   Linux-2.6.32-00114-g7ddb551
Created:      Wed Mar 31 07:46:05 2010
Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size:    3146319 Bytes = 3072.58 kB = 3.00 MB
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point:  0x00000000

But also compress it (starting from the uncrompressed kernel)
$ sudo mkimage -C lzma   -d vmlinux  bla
Image Name:
Created:      Thu Aug  5 16:28:36 2010
Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (lzma compressed)
Data Size:    8363830 Bytes = 8167.80 kB = 7.98 MB
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point:  0x00000000
$ mkimage -l bla
Image Name:
Created:      Thu Aug  5 16:28:36 2010
Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (lzma compressed)
Data Size:    8363830 Bytes = 8167.80 kB = 7.98 MB
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point:  0x00000000
