Re: [Lzip-bug] Lzip patch for kmod-25

[p . z . l]

Sure.  All what you need to do is follow the instructions provided by

Antonio, if you are not using automake 1.15, you need to pass

`autoreconf -vif' to generate all the needed files for build after

patching.

If you want to enable it in the kernel, you need to select:

CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS=y

Choosing LZIP as the type compressor to use.

These are the complete steps, how I do it for Dragora (a GNU/Linux

distribution):

Thanks for an answer.

Do I need (since I have lzipped kernel) lzipped* kexec-tools? In attachment is

./configure --help in folder kexec-tools from git. What does it mean lzma

support as default is it for lzma (xz) compressed kernel?

From what I found kexec is used to test new kernel, faster boot without going through boot firmware:
