Hi,
I'm trying to experiment with loading xz-compressed multiboot modules and
cannot figure out how to do it so that the xzio module can actually deal with
the compressed file (after instrumenting it, the problem is "unsupported xz
options"), I've tried simply compressing the file I'm interested in loading
with "xz", and with "xz -1" and both of the files cannot be decompressed.
What's the deal with the xz support, then?
Also, the grub manual currently only lists gzip:
"
Support automatic decompression
Can decompress files which were compressed by gzip. This function is both
automatic and transparent to the user (i.e. all functions operate upon the
uncompressed contents of the specified files). This greatly reduces a file
size and loading time, a particularly great benefit for floppies.2
It is conceivable that some kernel modules should be loaded in a
compressed state, so a different module-loading command can be specified to
avoid uncompressing the modules.
"
(the manual does not mention the --nounzip flag to the module command,
either).
