Title: [PPC64EL] kernel command line gets truncated at 512 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Booting the PPC64EL kernel the command line get truncated at 512 characters. This looks to be a hard limit defined in arch/powerpc/boot/opts.h. The MaaS project, needs to be able to provide a command line longer than 512 characters, as iscsi targets and cloud-init parameters are passed through the kernel command line. Command line passed to kernel through grub: nomodeset iscsi_target_name=iqn.2004-05.com.ubuntu:maas:ephemeral-ppc64el-generic-trusty-daily iscsi_target_ip=10.245.71.1 iscsi_target_port=3260 iscsi_initiator=maas-enlist ip=::::maas-enlist:BOOTIF ro root=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.245.71.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2004-05.com.ubuntu:maas:ephemeral-ppc64el-generic-trusty-daily-lun-1 overlayroot=tmpfs cloud-config-url=http://10.245.71.1/MAAS/metadata/latest/enlist-preseed/?op=get_enlist_preseed log_host=10.245.71.1 log_port=514 -- console=hvc0,19200n8 console=hvc1,19200n8 console=ttyS1,19200n8 BOOTIF=01-4a:03:3e:b8:37:66 Command line truncated by the kernel: BOOT_IMAGE=ppc64el/generic/trusty/daily/boot-kernel nomodeset iscsi_target_name=iqn.2004-05.com.ubuntu:maas:ephemeral-amd64-generic-trusty-daily iscsi_target_ip=10.245.71.1 iscsi_target_port=3260 iscsi_initiator=maas-enlist ip=::::maas-enlist:BOOTIF ro root=/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.245.71.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2004-05.com.ubuntu:maas:ephemeral-amd64-generic-trusty-daily-lun-1 overlayroot=tmpfs cloud-config-url=http://10.245.71.1/MAAS/metadata/latest/enlist-preseed/?op=get_enlist_preseed log_host=10.245.71.1 log_ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1306677/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
