|
- help
|
|
|
- This option decides by which algorithm the builtin initramfs
|
|
|
- will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
|
|
|
- available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
|
|
|
- decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant
|
|
|
- when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at
|
|
|
- each boot.

|
- If you have any problems with bzip2 or LZMA compressed
|
|
|
- initramfs, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- High compression options are mostly useful for users who are
|
|
|
- low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during
|
|
|
- boot.
|

|

- If in doubt, select 'gzip'

- help
|
|
|
- Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may
|
|
|
- sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the
|
|
|
- built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage
|
|
|
- anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those
|
|
|
- architectures that support this.
|
|
|
- However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly
|
|
|
- higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while
|
|
|
- both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will
|
|
|
- be present in memory simultaneously

- help
|

- Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.

|
|
- Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The initramfs
|
|
|
- size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
|
|
|
- Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
|
