Sure! This is the message I'm referring to: <http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-October/106255.html>. I know it was a long time ago--I got a bit sidetracked for a while. Specifically, I offered to provide a very simple version of fixup_silent_linux() that just fixed the buffer overrun and you said "Please consider it NAKed". >> "bootm" to mangle the Linux bootargs is not a suggested way to go. > > So what is "a suggested way to go" to silence the Linux kenrel > messages? Please see doc/README.silent in part 1 of this patchset for a sample script. > You are removing functionality that is in active use by a number of > boards, without providing any replacement, i. e. you are breaking a > number of boards. > > Do you think this is a good idea? This change doesn't remove any functionality but instead deprecates it and provides a path for boards to move forward to a non-deprecated solution. The non-deprecated solution is documented in doc/README.silent. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
