Re: [PATCH 2/2] Only print "Decompressing Linux" etc when 'noisy' is passed.

[devzero@web.de]

what about using "quiet" here instead ?

quiet is already the parameter to suppress boot messages, so introducing another one doesn`t make sense, imho.

the early boot commandline parser was extended some time ago to support boolean options, see:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=32d0b9898029b7b3c7f161d31f57c4831d9049eb

this may shrink your patch , see example in arch/x86/boot/edd.c 


be_quiet = cmdline_find_option_bool("quiet");
....
if (!be_quiet)
    printf("Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ");
