(They also recommend "--lzma2=dict=1MiB" but this isn't required.) 2) RHEL6-vintage kernels can't handle xz-compressed initramfs anyway. However, they do lzma just fine, so this works: [...] |xz -9 --format=lzma > $MBD_FSIMAGE (I tested it in a VM to be sure). File size difference from xz is negligible (4kb). I took the liberty of fixing that line in rhel6-branch; hope that's OK. -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
