Subject: XZ compressed kernel broken?
Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2018 21:38:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180708193805.GA5389@qarx.de> (raw)
I could not get kernel 4.17 or up to boot on my laptop. I tried various
things, started a new config from scratch on a freshly downloaded (not
up-patched) source tree, to no avail.
Today I tried switching kernel compression from XZ to GZIP and now it
boots fine.
Just as a PSA if your kernel just insta-resets after being loaded from
grub.
Might be some kind of freak interdependency, didn't analyze further.
