Hi, I found the problem that some of you did have with 2.6 (blank screen) after entering too many boot options. In linux-2.6.5/init/main.c are hardcoded too variables that lead to a kernel panic if there are more than 8 unknown arguments to the kernel ... #define MAX_INIT_ARGS 8 #define MAX_INIT_ENVS 8 For all of you doing remasters / masters ( and you Klaus :-) ) should double those values for example, which could lead to a higher memory need. Another idea would be too disable the kernel-panic and just print a warning with ignored options ... or jusrt remove the panic: - if (panic_later) - panic(panic_later, panic_param); Well there is no limit for creative ideas ... cu Fabian PS: I hope this explains now the strange behaviour of 2.6 for all of you trying ...
