From 2d3c627502f2a9b0a7de06a5a2df2365542a72c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:43:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "init/Kconfig: add option to disable kernel compression" This reverts commit 69f0554ec261fd686ac7fa1c598cc9eb27b83a80. This patch breaks randconfig on at least the x86-64 architecture, and most likely on others. There is work underway to support uncompressed kernels in a generic way, but it looks like it will amount to rewriting the support from scratch; see the LKML thread in the Link: for info. Therefore, revert this change and wait for the fix. Reported-by: Pavel Roskin Cc: Christian Ruppert Cc: Andrew Morton Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20131113113418.167b8ffd@IRBT4585 Signed-off-by: H.
