I just tried that and there is still no output. I have=20
 append=3D"rd.lvm.lv=3Dmaroon/usr console=3Duart,mmio,0xf8050000"
in elilo.conf (and confirmed that it got installed that way in
\EFI\gentoo\elilo.conf). In a test with 3.12.7-gentoo compiled with
gcc-4.5.4, I could see the commandline being seen this way by the
kernel. The same version, cleaned, rebuilt with gcc-4.7.3, does not
output anything at all and reboots after a few seconds.
