Hello, I'm happy to report that a xz compressed kernel (as simpleImage) also booted on a TP-Link WDR4900-v1 (Freescale P1014): <https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1773#issuecomment-461082045> Hence, I'm inclined to also add PPC_85xx to list in /arch/powerpc/KConfig |select HAVE_KERNEL_XZ if PPC_BOOK3S || 44x || PPC_85xx But on the other hand, it could very well be that more or all? PPC would benifit from having HAVE_KERNEL_XZ available. What do you think? (If you know of any interesting ARCHs, I could ask around too.) Regards, Christian
