If so - I would still like to put it in: - ifdef CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK - and define as __init so that people don't use it when they shouldn't (when the kernel is up an running). Something simple like - early_copy_log_buff(void *dest, size_t n) copies n bytes from log_buf to memory area dest. Returns number of bytes that could not be copied. Can find out how many bytes are in the log_buff by calling with zero size. This is not destructive to existing interfaces (log_start and con_start are not updated/used). This should ensure that if booting does work - that normal messages come out the standard method. Any other suggestions? -Robin - 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/
