</I>
For stage2, I've made list_modules.pm &amp; modules.pm accept both.
Same for drakx-installer-images (besides the gz-&gt;xz recompression
(which BTW I dropped this morning)).

But stage1 only handle XZ (modules.c::kernel_module_extension()
It would need be adapted to try both gz &amp; XZ (mdk-stage1/modules.c)
Also d-i-images compress initrd as xz

We could alter d-i-binaries &amp; d-i-images handle both gz &amp; xz,
but I think it would be simpler if we merge those patches so
that kernel support is the same across the architectures.

Anyway, ARM support doesn't look up to date against ia32 &amp;
x86_64 regarding packages &amp; the like so I think ARM port
can wait a kernel with proper support.
