Package: u-boot-tools Version: 2015.04+dfsg1-2 Severity: wishlist If I wish to boot into, e.g. single user mode on my arm device, I find that there is no way to set the kernel command parameter "single" other than by mucking with bootargs_console in ways its creator did not intend.
The problem is more general, of course, than just booting into single-user mode. For example, there is currently no clean way to set _any_ kernel parameter either permanently or for a one-shot test. It would be useful to have a u-boot environment parameter that will optionally be passed to the kernel at boot. Possibly, change the (sheeva plug -- wheezy) bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000 to bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(cmdline); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000 and put my kernel command line args in "cmdline" -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-1-armmp (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages u-boot-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18 u-boot-tools recommends no packages. u-boot-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
