zisofs actually has a lot of strange problems, enough to make it fairly |
9 |
unusable for production use. The reason why you are having problems is |
10 |
that the cloop.o module is not a kernel option, and is built for our |
11 |
initrd to match the kernel that is used to boot gentoo. So swapping |
12 |
in a new kernel could cause things to fail. |
