a file in initrd isn't a good choice; as the initrd is generally a fix image the point is some bootloaders might want to pass quite a bit of state to the kernel at times (i actually have this for a mip32 target where i construct a table and pass a pointer to that in, a tad icky but for lack of options) - 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/
