Since nobody else has mentioned anything about this, I guess I may
be the only person suffering...
Since 2.0.30 was released, I've discovered that it no longer takes
the command-line passed to it by my boot-loader.
I've not found any places (yet) that could have affected the command
line between 2.0.29 and 2.0.30 (everything worked with 2.0.29)
I've placed a couple of printk's in the code where the command line
options are initially parsed by the kernel itself, and found that the
string is being truncated 28 characters. (/proc/cmdline reports the same,
but I wanted to make sure).
The boot-loader is from Linux-FT (rev 1.1), and as mentioned before it
works fine with 2.0.29
System specs (some of them)
Intel P90, 24Mb
AHA1542
SCSI 1Gb disk (Conner CFP1080S)
SCSI cd-rom (Toshiba, Sun OEM for Sparc10)
SCSI DAT (HP SureStore 6000)
2x cheepo NE2000 clones.
Anyone got ideas?
I'd prefer to keep the boot-loader as it provides a useful menu system for
rolling back to other versions of Linux.
(I know LILO can do this as well, but it seems 'nicer' this way...)
Thanks in advance,
