My machine does not have a /proc/modules directory, so I'm not sure if 
the following command will work for you:

'lzip -d <kernel modules folder>/*.lz'

I'm afraid I can't answer any questions about kmod. I know very little 
about it.

Is this the source I need to patch?
http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-25.tar.gz

If the changes required are easy, they may be ready in a few days. Else 
it may take longer.

BTW, has anybody verified if this change is worth the effort? I.e., has 
LZMA compression any advantages over gzip compression for kernel modules?


Best regards,
Antonio.
