I just upgraded one of my systems from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1, and discovered that it would no longer boot. I tried recompiling my kernel, to see if I had somehow corrupted it, but I got the same results. After searching google for a bit, I discovered the discussion here:
Re: [PATCHv2] lz4: fix system halted at boot kernel x86_64 compressed lz4 https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/3/453 I tested booting 4.0.1 with gzip compression, and it booted fine. I tested after applying this patch, and it also booted fine. It appears that this patch was never properly submitted to Greg, so this is my pass at trying to have it properly formatted for him. This applies cleanly to 4.0.1. I also tried to clean up the wording a bit for the patch. Please CC me on any response, as I am not yet subscribed to this list.
