Hi,
Valid point. I gues penguin still does pass the date, so the

down to 'why isn't it used by the kernel?'
EMILE passes the date too.
Good, so solving the problem should fix it for both. When did the
problem get
introduced - 2.4 or 2.6?
Silly question I guess, but how is the passing done?
On m68k architecture, bootloader passes a list of tags to the kernel,
see set_kernel_bootinfo():
http://gitorious.org/projects/emile/repos/mainline/blobs/master/second%2Fbootinfo.c
These tags are put at the end of the kernel image (see main.c).
It allows to pass things like command line, memory mapping or hardware
information.
