hey guys, sorry but I'm lost. did the compress patch bust Ward's linuxbios? Why would that happen? Did the behaviour default to 'new feetchur enabled'?
It was indirectly connected to the new feature. Since we're using the same compression algorithm as we use for CONFIG_COMPRESS I switched things so that they share code - ... and tested on a system with CONFIG_COMPRESS disabled.
The bug was that nrv2b puts the length of the decompressed file in the first 4 bytes of the result file. unrv2b() skips those. And so does copy_and_run.c in the assembler part which I missed.
I fixed it in 2291 though.
