Is it possible to *convert* a vmlinuz (gzip compressed) to a bzImage? I believe I could rebuild the kernel, specifying a different image type ... looking for a simpler step to test. My goal is to 'feed' a -xen bzImage to the Dom0's PVGRUB bootloader (hosted, so I can't get to it), and see if it stops complaining ... Some very recent PVGRUB patches seem to address problems with LZMA/BZIP2 decompression; I've found nothing, yet, re: GZIP itself, though. Given your info above, the fact that the -xen vmlinuz *is* provided as gzip compressed, and checking, /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.8-0.1/arch/x86 > egrep "LZMA|GZIP|BZIP" Kconfig select HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP select HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2 if !XEN select HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA if !XEN it seems that BZIP & LZMA compression are neither available nor turned on for XEN case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
