So here is my +1. Would it be reasonable to propose to have it in kirkstone too? Otherwise, @khem, I'd need to drop compression or downgrade the kernel in kirkstone rpi (or make some yocto incompatible changes - which I'd rather not). Andrei

RPi kernel has started building compressed kernel modules by default starting 5.15, currenrly therefore meta-raspberrypi kernels are unable to load kernel modules since kmod and kmod-native do not entertain xz compressed modules. There is a fix proposed in meta-raspberrypi [1] but the fix is needed for native and nativesdk recipes as well, perhaps its best to enable it here for best out of box experience with meta-raspberrypi [1] https://github.com/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi/pull/1056 Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> --- meta/recipes-kernel/kmod/kmod_29.bb | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
