reading an embedded linux book, which claims that the __setup() macro for defining boot-time command-line parameters is deprecated. i realize that, if you have code that can be modular, then you should be defining parameters using module_param(). but if it's a fundamental command-line parameter (ie., not possibly modular), how else would you define it other than with ___setup()? or am i missing something obvious? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
