Subject: [PATCH] Fix the EDD code misparsing the command line
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:13:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44F386B8.8000209@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060828184637.GD13464@lists.us.dell.com>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1 bytes --]



[-- Attachment #2: edd-cmdline-fix.path --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3570 bytes --]

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without
taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old
command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the
command line may not be reachable from INITSEG.

This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command
line.
