RSS Bot Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Description For some weird reason, vim1s's kernel is extremely sensitive to gzipped initramfs image and it fails to load the same. For this reason, we had a pre_update_initramfs hook to change the initramfs compression algorithm from gzip to xz. But it turns out armbian-bsp-cli package has a well hidden pre-install script that changes compression to gzip if armbian-bsp-cli package is upgraded. This PR moves the compression change logic from previously added pre_update_initramfs hook to postinst script of armbian-bsp-cli. This way we can provide the value from getting overwritten and hence fix the upgrade failure. Jira reference number AR-1976 How Has This Been Tested? Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Please also note any relevant details for your test configuration. [X] Created a new armbian-bsp-cli package and uses that to upgrade pre-installed armbian-bsp-cli package. Checked COMPRESS value in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to make sure it is set to xz.
