Yes, 2.6.18-rc3 + my zlib fix
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/428436) or -rc4 once it
hits kernel.org works fine on my v2p-based board.
Well, unfortunately I am still getting the inflate error
as soon as the image grows >2MB (about). Have you tried with
images of this size? If the image is smaller, everything works
fine...
My first reaction when I saw this thread was that you didn't allocate 
something in memory and overlapped something.  However, looking
at your original post again, I think your kernel is growing larger than
4MB, which is the link address of the zImage.  This is based on the 
kernel is decompressed to address 0 in
ppc/boot/simple/misc-embedded.c, and a 50% compression factor 
and 2MB compressed image.

You can look at the file size of vmlinux to see if this is close.
