Ick, no, not another kernel boot parameter. I would prefer the /proc/ file solution instead, just like /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is. But, that really wouldn't work for boot time, so, again just like hotplug works, make it also a Kconfig option for those distros that build their own kernels and keep their firmware in odd places, or don't have a /lib/ directory, can override it easily. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
