But other systems should be considered when landing the change that actually causes kernel images to be compressed, I think. X-Gene is the only arm64 SoC that I'm aware of that uses flash-kernel and the Ubuntu generic kernel. The switch to compressed kernels was specific to the Ubuntu arm64/generic kernel. WRT the change in the kernel package to make images compressed, it has been regression tested across the non-flash-kernel (i.e. UEFI) servers (GRUB handles the decompression). This change is also restricted to the hwe kernel in xenial, so it has no regression risk for those running the GA kernel. Both the kernel and flash-kernel changes were shipped in yakkety, and I am unaware of any outstanding regressions. There was some initial fallout then for d-i and maas-images, which generate uImages on their own, but those have been resolved within those projects. -dann -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384955 Title: support compressed kernels on arm64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1384955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
