However, you say "Can't find IA32 as a mark", but it's used in a couple of places that should also be changed: code_bytes [IA32] How many bytes of object code to print in an oops report. Range: 0 - 8192 Default: 64 and disable_8254_timer enable_8254_timer [IA32/X86_64] Disable/Enable interrupt 0 timer routing over the 8254 in addition to over the IO-APIC. The kernel tries to set a sensible default. > Signed-off-by: Alan Cox [not that a mechanistic conversion has any rights associated with it] > > --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt~ 2007-04-05 16:30:30.817515360 +0100 > +++ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt 2007-04-05 16:30:30.824514296 +0100 > @@ -41,7 +41,6 @@ > EIDE EIDE/ATAPI support is enabled. > FB The frame buffer device is enabled. > HW Appropriate hardware is enabled. > - IA-32 IA-32 aka i386 architecture is enabled. > IA-64 IA-64 architecture is enabled. > IOSCHED More than one I/O scheduler is enabled. > IP_PNP IP DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is enabled. > @@ -91,6 +90,7 @@ > VT Virtual terminal support is enabled. > WDT Watchdog support is enabled. > XT IBM PC/XT MFM hard disk support is enabled. > + X86-32 X86-32, aka i386 architecture is enabled. > X86-64 X86-64 architecture is enabled. > More X86-64 boot options can be found in > Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt . -- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***
