It's not that I know of. Since this is a parm that was only used in SLES10, it wouldn't be in the distribution-specific Device Drivers and Commands books, which started with SLES11. > Is it the same on Red Hat?

I don't think we've ever documented every last thing that can be put into those files, but I could be wrong.
