i'm aware of the use of the macro "early_param" defined in include/linux/init.h, and its use throughout the source tree: $ grep -r early_param * but i also notice that the ARM architecture defines its own form of a similar macro: $ grep -rw __early_param * i admit i haven't looked closely enough, but is there some reason that the ARM architecture needed to define its own form of this macro? is there something ARM-specific that couldn't be done with the regular macro? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
