Title: Kernel cmdline limited to 256 characters in pxeboot Status in Linaro U-Boot: New Status in “u-boot-linaro” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The default # of characters allowed in the omap4 kernel is set at 512 according to /usr/src/linux-headers-3.0.0-1200-omap4/include/asm- generic/setup.h, however u-boot only allows 256 on the append line in the pxe config. With the panda, this is severely limiting due to the need to work around a known memory hole with mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000. Either the memory hole is left unmasked, which may cause random kernel oops during an image install, or netinstall cannot effectively be preseeded for full automation. Working length: append vram=32M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 fixrtc debian-installer/framebuffer=false console=ttyO2,115200n8 url=http://master.gruenet/preseed/preseed.cfg locale=en_US setup/layoutcode=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en_US auto netcfg/get_hostname= Failing length: append vram=32M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 fixrtc quiet debian-installer/framebuffer=false console=ttyO2,115200n8 url=http://master.gruenet/preseed/preseed.cfg locale=en_US setup/layoutcode=en_US console-setup/layoutcode=en_US auto netcfg/get_hostname= Difference is the addition of "quiet" to reduce the noise level of kernel boot messages.
