Description jonathan.yong 2018-01-02 02:57:28 UTC 
CONVERSION_CMD_lz4 in openembedded-core/meta/classes/image_types.bbclass calls lz4 without -l, generating compressed initramfs incompatible with the kernel decompressor.

There is a CONVERSION_CMD_lz4_legacy with -l, but there seems to be no clear way to use it.
