Hi,
I have a question regarding boot loader. For the boot-loader to pass
parameters to the kernel, they need to agree on a memory location for
infomation to go. Prior to kernel 2.4, a structure was used, for 2.4
kernels onwards, a tagged-parameter mechanism is used, can a boot loader,
lets say redboot, boot all kernels prior and after 2.4, or is it dedicated
to certain versions of kernels? Where can I find information about format
and structure of the parameters passed to kernel?
thanks
