Subject: rdshell and rdbreak

Message-ID: <4E8413A6.2090804@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
For kernel developers sometimes boot-test need a minimal initrd, so just
drop into a shell is a nice feature.
The first impression of param 'rdshell' to me is it will drop me into a
shell, but It doesn't. It drop into shell only when initramfs fails.
The rdbreak is more near what I want, but it still fails when no root
args set in cmdline.
IMO initrd can provide such options at least: dropping into shell
without mount rootfs, user can mount by himself or do other things.
Thus, if it make sense how about add a:
rdbreak=force
OTOH, rdshell can be merged into rdbreak as:
rdbreak=fail
Any comments about this?

Thanks
Dave
