Hmm, works for me here. But then, i386_start_kernel -> reserve_ebda_region ->printk already, so that banner is *still* not first line. > (as an aside, it would be nice if it came after setup_arch, since on > some horrible platforms, printk_time needs the fpu turned on for > (integer) division, but there's no arch hook before the first printk, so > one needs to hijack the start_kernel entrypoint...) That won't help much, since a failed kernel parameter parse will also call printk. I don't think it's sane to call start_kernel without the ability to do integer division!
