| |
The patch has been re-written to use the boot device synchronization infrastructure. This ensures that we can detect that there is no console attached as early as possible.
History v4 Use new hotplug synchronization infrastructure. Include Braille console support. v3.2 Use only a single new command line parameter by adding the possible value "forever". Add message specifying the parameter to modify to increase the delay for console initialization v3.1 Correct the abbreviation for milliseconds in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to be "ms", not "mS". Thanks to Peter Anvin for this. v3 Increase the default delay to 1 second and add kernel command line parameters to override the default delay. Thanks to David Brownell for his helpful suggestions. v2 Wait for the preferred console rather than any console. Make the delay interval a tunable. v1 Initial version
