In the general case, you can't pass a command line argument to Linux either. kvm doesn't boot Linux; it boots the bios, which boots the boot sector, which boots grub, which boots Linux. Relying on the user to edit the command line in grub is wrong. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
