Bug#611493: Failure on boot during initrd script execution

2011-09-03 Thread Ben Hutchings
Let me try that again: The kernel ignores any unrecognised arguments on the command line, except that if they do not follow the format name=value they are passed as arguments to the init process (i.e. the initramfs). Ben. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
