From af21b01d1166248f282fc02d0f459c94de06615e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2017 22:24:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Reintroduce option to gzip-compress the kernel By adding the feature to build the kernel as self-extracting executeable, the possibility to simply compress the kernel with gzip was lost. This patch now reintroduces this possibilty again and leaves it up to the user to decide how the kernel should be built. The palo bootloader is able to natively load both formats.
