How to disable Linux kernel self-extraction (KERNEL_GZIP, KERNEL_BZIP2, â)?

Dear Linux folks,


I try to decrease boot time, and my system has an SSD and enough space, so loading 18 instead of 12 MB doesnât make a difference, but the self-extraction is noticeable. So, I like to disable it.

From `init/Kconfig`:

The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.

Unfortunately, I couldnât find a way to disable it. Should an option `KERNEL_NONE` be added?


Kind regards,

Paul
