Post by: floppy on May 27, 2011, 07:41:48 AM

Hello,
the boot line is cut after ... qwert
So, the keyboard is not functioning.
How is it possible to have the whole boot line recognized?

kernel       /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdd1 tinycore quiet blacklist=snd_usb_audio loglevel=2 vga=789 tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 noscsi noacpi nozswap nomodeset nopat showapps home=hdd3 restore=hdd3 opt=hdd3 tce=hdd3 noapic ide_core.ignore_cable=1 swap=hdd2 host=OldBoy1 kmap=qwertz/de-latin1

Trim it?

Why root=/dev/hdd1?
Why tinycore?

Yeah, I think the limit is 256 chars. Checking on kernel docs, the limit is in your bootloader.

Thanks.
So, I will
a) clean the unnecessary, fat and dirty codes
b) if a lot of codes are required, I will look at another boot loader if another one accept longer boot lines (today Grub legacy)

Additional trim: restore=hdd3  
If your mydata.tgz is in your tce directory tce=hdd3 then you can cut the restore=hdd3 option.
