--verbose please. I don't think I broke that. I've seen code for that in i386/x86_64 and one of the other archs (via earlyprintk=foo,keep). The code clears now the CON_BOOT flag in case keep is present, which has the wanted effect: The earlyprintk console will not be replaced. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 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/
