given the two(?) files in the kernel source tree that allegedly document valid kernel parameters: Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt Documentation/m68k/kernel-options.txt it's obvious that there are a number of still-documented parms that are long deceased. for example: $ grep -rw sg_def_reserved_size * Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: sg_def_reserved_size= [SCSI] that suggests pretty clearly that that entry can be tossed from the Doc file. there's a wiki page that i set up a while back for collecting examples like this: http://fsdev.net/wiki/index.php?title=Defunct_kernel_parameters feel free to ignore the crap on most of that page and, if you want, just add other examples of dead parms to the first section. then a single patch can be sent in to remove all of them at once. (note: it may be that the removal of a dead parm represents more than just deleting a line from one of those files. if that's the case, you can expand on that when you add its entry. no need to be too formal about it, i can tidy things up later.) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
