If you are still interested in lz4 patch for kernel(s), here is this one we're using
https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-kernel/blob/master/patches/rpi/lz4.patch

Although patching the kernel sounds like a cool option it would be much appreciated if any member of the xbian community could share a patched 4.x kernel (x86_64) with lz4 support. IMHO the majority of the xbian userbase (like myself) doesn't have the knowledge or skills to recompile the kernel.

Lol, do you know how many linux distros exists All distros are building their own kernel with their specific patches, so it is absolutely impossible to do what you like to have.

And btw, if you do not like LZ4 compression, you could set compression to lzo in file /boot/cmdline.txt (in first partition of sd card) after you flashed image and before you're booting RPi the first time.

Thanks Nachteule,
I have successfully patched the kernel and managed to mount the xbian partition.
Thx for the suggestions.
