However, I am not sure how the kernel will handle this. Especially since: * if you boot with no initramfs, init= is handled by your script (otherwise: kernel) * does "init" qualify as a kernel param already? I don't think so, since the code indicates to be wanting "init=" at least. Either way, the word "init" in the above doc is either (1) wrong or (2) superfluous [unless something strange happens to interpret it later, which I don't think] Jan -- ft: http://freshmeat.net/p/chaostables/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
