I have used in this case the gzip from arch. > Can we patch or upgrade this package to support large files? The only what i can say is that i boot with System Rescue CD (cpio 2.5 instead of 2.6 in arch and gzip 1.3.3-r4 instead of 1.2.4b in arch) and than i can extract it. And yes i can boot from this partiton after i have restored the gzip cpio file. I recognized some little errors during the boot process but this only my test partition so it is not bad for me. Perhaps this info helps anyone who has a better understanding about it as mine.
