Thanks for your patience Amos; I believe the commits I just made should solve your problem. Basically removing the boot wrapper (and that's bugged me for a while for other reasons) allows us to collapse three command line buffers into one, and that makes me happy. :) bicl (http://www.cs.unm.edu/~k42/tools/bicl) acts directly on the command line that was built in at compile time. If that buffer is empty at runtime, firmware arguments will be used. Note that changing the CMDLINE at compile time does not properly replace the previous CMDLINE; you would have to make clean or remove xen/arch/powerpc/cmdline.o by hand. I'd happily accept a Makefile patch for that. -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Xen-ppc-devel mailing list Xen-ppc-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-ppc-devel
