There is a conflict. Thanks for pointing that out. Both the obsolete __setup() parameter code and the module parameter code in kernel/params.c are limited to a single matching parameter. The first matching parameter will be used, and non-early obsoleted parameters are overridden by module parameter code. If I understand the code correctly that is. =) Maybe it is possible to (mis)use early_param instead of __setup and let these parameters become "high priority" parameters that only are parsed by do_early_param()...? / magnus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
