Where is that functionality implemented? I couldn't find it. Does the kernel that automatically on PPC64? I know too litte about that architecture. > Either way, this should probably be a generic option, not x86 specific. Well, I thought first of it. But since the '--append' parameter is not generic, this makes no sense. Maybe it would make sense to change the command line handling in general to be global and not image specific, but first I need to understand how that works on PPC64 ... (and probably others).
