I like smaller install size. In many cases we boot without initrd by default (gcp, azure, aws, kvm). Does it then make sense to enable this for the cloud kernels?
I ponder, if i can hack initramfs-tools to append compressed kernel modules as an uncompressed cpio archive to the initramfs, instead of having it together with the userspace bits all compressed together. Separately, are the modules signed, then compressed, or compressed then signed? Cause the other alternative is to decompress the modules whilst including in the initramfs. That way we should get unchanged initrd sizes. So I guess I need to hack initramfs-tools more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932329 Title: Benchmark if we can compress kernel modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1932329/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
