Linux both with zboot and without zboot are valid EFI binary. But zboot seems to uncover a bug in u-boot. So, now we have the options: - We target EFI, the decompressor is correct, then u-boot is broken. - We target EFI, the decompressor is invalue, then the kernel is broken. - We target u-boot restricted EFI, then we have to revert that for all three architectures. What we still can do is workaround this bug. But this is a defined state and requires both sides. Bastian -- Bones: "The man's DEAD, Jim!"
