[klibc] klibc kernel tree merged with 2.6.17-rc5; sparc64 changes in
I have finished the work of transmitting sparc64 ROM parameters to kinit via the file /arch.cmd in rootfs. The result is pretty nice, as it gives a clean interface for any other architectures which want to collect architecture-specific options at initialization time. I have also merged my tree with v2.6.17-rc5, although it was a completely orthogonal merge set. The following issues are still outstanding, as far as I know; I will try to get to them in a timely manner: a. nfsroot with server defaulting to the server in the ip= or nfsaddrs option. b. nfsaddrs= (unlike ip=) shouldn't configure networking unless NFS is specified as the root filesystem. c. s390/s390x merge. (Again, if someone could get me some hand holding in setting up a standard Linux on Hercules, that would be really useful.) -hpa
