__setup() handlers should return 1 to indicate that the boot option has been handled. Returning 0 causes a boot option to be listed in the Unknown kernel command line parameters and also added to init's arg list (if no '=' sign) or environment list (if of the form 'a=b'). Unknown kernel command line parameters "erst_disable bert_disable hest_disable BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6", will be passed to user space. Run /sbin/init as init process with arguments: /sbin/init erst_disable bert_disable hest_disable with environment: HOME=/ TERM=linux BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6 Fixes: a3e2acc5e37b ("ACPI / APEI: Add Boot Error Record Table (BERT) support") Fixes: a08f82d08053 ("ACPI, APEI, Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support") Fixes: 9dc966641677 ("ACPI, APEI, HEST table parsing") Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Igor Zhbanov <i.zhbanov@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: lore.kernel.org/r/64644a2f-4a20-bab3-1e15-3b2cdd0defe3@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Rafael J.
