Hi,

Thanks for replying Paul.

My driver will be loaded at the boot time itself, just after the root
file-system mounts in the read-only mode. Suppose there is bug in the driver
due to which the system is panicing, and since the driver is loading at the
boot time, it will cause the system to panic in all the subsequent boot
cycle. To avoid such issue I'll bypass the driver loading by supplying "do
not load the driver" as an argument to the boot options. So, in the rc
scripts I need to check whether the system is boot with the by-pass mode of
the driver.

thanks & regards,
ajit
