Extending the kernel parameters to a size of 1024 on boot protocol >=2.02 for i386 and x86_64 architectures. Signed-off-by: Alon Bar-Lev --- Hello, This patch was submitted a long ago, but did not find its way into the kernel, but was not rejected as well. Current implementation allows the kernel to receive up to 255 characters from the bootloader. In current environment, the command-line is used in order to specify many values, including suspend/resume, module arguments, splash, initramfs and more. 255 characters are not enough anymore. Please consider to merge. If any of you think that this should be applied for other architectures, please reply. Current architectures that have 256 limit are: alpha, cris, i386, m64k, mips, sh, sh64, sparc, sparc64, x86_64, xtensa Current architectures that have 512 values are: frv(512), h8300(512), ia64(512), m32r(512), m68knommu(512), mips(512), powerpc(512), v850(512) Current architectures that are OK: arm(1024), arm26(1024), parisc(1024) Current strange ones: s390(896) - I guess IBM has a good reason for this constant...
