That doesn't help unfortunately:

                           GNU GRUB  version 2.04~rc1

   Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB   
   lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible   
   device or file completions. ESC at any time exits.                     


grub> insmod gzio
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-4-sparc64-smp ro root=/dev/vdiska2
error: premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-4-sparc64-smp.

Going to decompress the kernel now and see if that helps. I'm just surprised
that GRUB supposedly doesn't support compressed kernels on sparc64 when
we have used that before with 2.02.

Not that I have a problem with an uncompressed kernel, I am just surprised.
