This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
|
|
|
|
to print messages very early in the bootup process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
|
|
|
|
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
|
|
|
|
it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
|
|
|
|
doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
|
|
|
|
unless you want to debug such a crash.

For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
|
|
|
|
by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
|
|
|
|
it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
|
|
|
|
default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
|
|
|
|
For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
|
|
|
|
command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
|
|
|
|
should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
|
|
|
|
in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
|
|
|
|
line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
|
|
|
|
command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
|
|
|
|
the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to

pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases

when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore

the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at

build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify

kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom

initialization routines.

By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
|
|
|
|
command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.

Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.

Normally, you will choose 'N' here.
