Personnaly, I always used:

int main(int argc, const char *const argv[])

until the day when I started using getopt or getopt_long, which
prototype are:

int getopt(int argc, char * const argv[],
                  const char *optstring);
 int getopt_long(int argc, char * const argv[],
                  const char *optstring,
                  const struct option *longopts, int *longindex);

So, now, I always use:

int main(int argc, char *const argv[])

Maybe that is also the reason for the prototype of kernelInit ?
