Hi, For kernel developers sometimes boot-test need a minimal initrd, so just drop into a shell is a nice feature. The first impression of param 'rdshell' to me is it will drop me into a shell, but It doesn't. It drop into shell only when initramfs fails. The rdbreak is more near what I want, but it still fails when no root args set in cmdline. IMO initrd can provide such options at least: dropping into shell without mount rootfs, user can mount by himself or do other things. Thus, if it make sense how about add a: rdbreak=force OTOH, rdshell can be merged into rdbreak as: rdbreak=fail Any comments about this?
what about "rdshell rdbreak=cmdline" or in new syntax "rd.shell=1 rd.break=cmdline" ?? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
