Not everything that's passed on the kernel command line is actually a kernel parameter; see dracut.cmdline(7) for a bunch of examples. Actual kernel parameters are implemented with various macros defined in include/linux/moduleparam.h. -- ======================================================================== In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
