I would always say that what is on the command line should override the configs (when feasible). To add something to the command line takes effort, and is always visible (cat /proc/cmdline), whereas configs are hidden and not as visible to those using the kernel. Not having the command line work would be annoying, and even if it came up with a message of "The config says *all* so I'm ignoring what you want to do" would be exceptionally more annoying as now the user has to recompile the kernel (and only if they could). -- Steve
