--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools-core Version: 0.130 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, Linux 3.18.0 comes with native support for xz compressed modules. kmod/25-1 adds support for xz compressed modules. Compression allows me to build custom kernels with much smaller FS impact, so I've been trying it out. I built and installed kernel from source (4.14.21, 4.15.5) with XZ module compression. $ make menuconfig # Enable CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS # Enable CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ $ make $ make modules_install $ make install However, after rebooting throug grub the kernel loads the initramfs, but initramfs fails to find the root filesystem. Examining contents of the generated /boot/initrd.img*, compared to an uncompressed build, many modules and /lib/firmware/* are absent. I was able to generate working initrd.img* files with the following patch: ==========>8========== --- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions~ 2018-02-23 10:57:27.622691989 -0500 +++ /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions 2018-02-23 11:57:55.792649031 -0500 @@ -212,12 +212,15 @@ fi fi while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do - exclude="${exclude:-} -name $1 -prune -o " + exclude="${exclude:-} -name $1 -prune -o -name $1.xz -prune -o " shift done for kmod in $(find "${MODULESDIR}/${dir}" ${exclude:-} -name '*.ko' -printf '%f\n'); do modules="$modules ${kmod%.ko}" done + for kmod in $(find "${MODULESDIR}/${dir}" ${exclude:-} -name '*.ko.xz' -printf '%f\n'); do + modules="$modules ${kmod%.ko.xz}" + done manual_add_modules $modules } @@ -313,6 +316,9 @@ */$pattern.ko) manual_add_modules $(basename $module .ko) ;; + */$pattern.ko.xz) + manual_add_modules $(basename $module .ko.xz) + ;; esac done < $builtin fi ==========>8========== There may be more elegant solutions. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core depends on: ii cpio 2.12+dfsg-6 ii klibc-utils 2.0.4-11 ii kmod 25-1 ii udev 237-3 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core recommends: ii busybox 1:1.27.2-2 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.3 -- Configuration Files: /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf unchanged [not included] (BUSYBOX=y) -- no debconf information
