Several compression algorithms are available, which differ in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was supplied by Christian Ludwig) High compression options are mostly useful for users, who are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram size matters less. If in doubt, select 'gzip' config KERNEL_LZO bool "LZO" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO help Its compression ratio is the poorest among the 4. The kernel size is about about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed (both compression and decompression) is the fastest. endchoice whith CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO for kernel build, i`m getting: linux-q4cg:/tmp/evot20/linux-2.6.33 # make bzImage CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h LZO arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzo /bin/sh: lzop: command not found make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzo] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2 make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 zypper install lzop Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'lzop' not found. Resolving package dependencies... Nothing to do. so it appears, that lzop is a linux-kernel-source dependency now. you may ask why compressing kernel image with lzo - but on slow (eg. embedded) platform this can speedup the boot process....
