The problem is that a compressed kernel is divided into two pieces, one of which starts at 0x000e0000 and is the bootstrap code which is uncompressed into 0x00100000 and the rest of which is the real compressed kernel which is loaded above the end of the current decompressed size of the entire kernel. palo decompresses the head and jumps to it and it then decompresses the rest of the kernel into place. This means that the first part of the compressed image can't be larger than 0x20000 == 131072 because otherwise it will be loaded into an area that decompression will alter. The problem is that a change was introduced by commit 34c201ae49fe9e0bf3b389da5869d810f201c740 Author: Helge Deller Date: Mon Oct 15 22:14:01 2018 +0200 parisc: Include compressed vmlinux file in vmlinuz boot kernel Which moved the compressed vmlinux from the second segment to the first, which is what makes it too big for me. This patch reverting that piece allows me to boot again.
