While the kernel command line is very limited resource (only 256 chars), I prefer a single short option to specify initrd range, if available. But nothing wrong with rd_start and rd_size, and it seems there are some boot loader expected them already, so removing them would not be good (especially without some grace period). I don't care if there were two way to specify initrd range. It would be somewhat redundant, but that is usual on "Backword compatibility" issue, isn't it? ;-) --- Atsushi Nemoto
