Decompress kernel modules #27

Closed bocekm closed 7 years ago

bocekm commented 7 years ago

Since RHEL 7.4 the kernel modules are xz-compressed. The upgrade phase after reboot was failing because RHEL 6 modprobe is used for loading kernel modules and it doesn't support xz compression. To fix that all the kernel modules in the RHEL 7 initramfs are now decompressed before any module is required.
