1) Overview of the Kernel's Option Processing
=============================================
The kernel knows three kinds of options on its command line:
1) kernel options
2) environment settings
3) arguments for init
To which of these classes an argument belongs is determined as
follows: If the option is known to the kernel itself, i.e. if the name
(the part before the '=') or, in some cases, the whole argument string
is known to the kernel, it belongs to class 1. Otherwise, if the
argument contains an '=', it is of class 2, and the definition is put
into init's environment. All other arguments are passed to init as
command line options.

list of values separated by commas. The interpretation of these values
is up to the driver that "owns" the option. This association of
options with drivers is also the reason that some are further
subdivided.

into a major/minor number internally in the kernel in an unusual way.
Normally, this "conversion" is done by the device files in /dev, but
this isn't possible here, because the root filesystem (with /dev)
isn't mounted yet... So the kernel parses the name itself, with some
hardcoded name to number mappings. The name must always be a
combination of two or three letters, followed by a decimal number.

partition number. Internally, the value of the number is just
added to the device number mentioned in the table above. The
exceptions are /dev/ram and /dev/fd, where /dev/ram refers to an
initial ramdisk loaded by your bootstrap program (please consult the
instructions for your bootstrap program to find out how to load an
initial ramdisk). As of kernel version 2.0.18 you must specify
/dev/ram as the root device if you want to boot from an initial
ramdisk. For the floppy devices, /dev/fd, the number stands for the
floppy drive number (there are no partitions on floppy disks). I.e.,
/dev/fd0 stands for the first drive, /dev/fd1 for the second, and so
on. Since the number is just added, you can also force the disk format
by adding a number greater than 3. If you look into your /dev
directory, use can see the /dev/fd0D720 has major 2 and minor 16. You
can specify this device for the root FS by writing "root=/dev/fd16" on
the kernel command line.

set at all, without an error message. Another example: You cannot use a
partition on e.g. the sixth SCSI disk as the root filesystem, if you
want to specify it by name. This is, because only the devices up to
/dev/sde are in the table above, but not /dev/sdf. Although, you can
use the sixth SCSI disk for the root FS, but you have to specify the
device by number... (see below). Or, even more strange, you can use the
fact that there is no range checking of the partition number, and your
knowledge that each disk uses 16 minors, and write "root=/dev/sde17"
(for /dev/sdf1).

above, you can also specify it by major and minor numbers. These are
written in hex, with no prefix and no separator between. E.g., if you
have a CD with contents appropriate as a root filesystem in the first
SCSI CD-ROM drive, you boot from it by "root=0b00". Here, hex "0b" =
decimal 11 is the major of SCSI CD-ROMs, and the minor 0 stands for
the first of these. You can find out all valid major numbers by
looking into include/linux/major.h.

identifiers, then you may use them. For instance,
"root=PARTUUID=00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF". It is also

This option causes certain kernel messages be printed to the selected
debugging device. This can aid debugging the kernel, since the
messages can be captured and analyzed on some other machine. Which
devices are possible depends on the machine type. There are no checks
for the validity of the device name. If the device isn't implemented,
nothing happens.

the log level is 8 or more (their level doesn't matter). Before stack
dumps, the kernel sets the log level to 10 automatically. A level of

driver (Amiga and Atari): <buffers> is the number of buffers you want
to use (minimum 4, default 4), <buffer-size> is the size of each
buffer in kilobytes (minimum 4, default 32) and <catch-radius> says
how much percent of error will be tolerated when setting a frequency
(maximum 10, default 0). For example with 3% you can play 8000Hz

The number of additional lines of video memory to reserve for
speeding up the scrolling ("hardware scrolling"). Hardware scrolling
is possible only if the kernel can set the video base address in steps
fine enough. This is true for STE, MegaSTE, TT, and Falcon. It is not
possible with plain STs and graphics cards (The former because the
base address must be on a 256 byte boundary there, the latter because
the kernel doesn't know how to set the base address at all.)

It would be used only for hardware scrolling (which isn't possible
with the external driver, because the kernel cannot set the video base
address), or for virtual resolutions under X (which the X server
doesn't support yet). So, it's currently best to leave this field
empty, either by ending the "external:" after the video address or by
writing two consecutive semicolons, if you want to give a <vgabase>
(it is allowed to leave this parameter empty).

thus you have to set appropriate colors before you start Linux. But if
your card is somehow VGA compatible, you can tell the kernel the base
address of the VGA register set, so it can change the color lookup
table. You have to look up this address in your board's documentation.
To avoid misunderstandings: <vgabase> is the _base_ address, i.e. a 4k

Generally, any number of arguments can be omitted from the end. And
for each of the numbers, a negative value means "use default". The
defaults depend on whether TT-style or Falcon-style SCSI is used.
Below, defaults are noted as n/m, where the first value refers to
TT-SCSI and the latter to Falcon-SCSI. If an illegal value is given
for one parameter, an error message is printed and that one setting is
ignored (others aren't affected).
<can_queue>:
This is the maximum number of SCSI commands queued internally to the
Atari SCSI driver. A value of 1 effectively turns off the driver
internal multitasking (if it causes problems). Legal values are >=
1. <can_queue> can be as high as you like, but values greater than
<cmd_per_lun> times the number of SCSI targets (LUNs) you have
don't make sense. Default: 16/8.
<cmd_per_lun>:
Maximum number of SCSI commands issued to the driver for one
logical unit (LUN, usually one SCSI target). Legal values start
from 1. If tagged queuing (see below) is not used, values greater
than 2 don't make sense, but waste memory. Otherwise, the maximum
is the number of command tags available to the driver (currently
32). Default: 8/1. (Note: Values > 1 seem to cause problems on a
Falcon, cause not yet known.)

<scat-gat>:
Size of the scatter-gather table, i.e. the number of requests
consecutive on the disk that can be merged into one SCSI command.
Legal values are between 0 and 255. Default: 255/0. Note: This
value is forced to 0 on a Falcon, since scatter-gather isn't
possible with the ST-DMA. Not using scatter-gather hurts
performance significantly.
<host-id>:
The SCSI ID to be used by the initiator (your Atari). This is
usually 7, the highest possible ID. Every ID on the SCSI bus must
be unique. Default: determined at run time: If the NV-RAM checksum
is valid, and bit 7 in byte 30 of the NV-RAM is set, the lower 3
bits of this byte are used as the host ID. (This method is defined
by Atari and also used by some TOS HD drivers.) If the above
isn't given, the default ID is 7. (both, TT and Falcon).
<tagged>:
0 means turn off tagged queuing support, all other values > 0 mean
use tagged queuing for targets that support it. Default: currently
off, but this may change when tagged queuing handling has been
proved to be reliable.
Tagged queuing means that more than one command can be issued to
one LUN, and the SCSI device itself orders the requests so they
can be performed in optimal order. Not all SCSI devices support
tagged queuing (:-().
[PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time; yet we keep on breaking it more and more. If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all. I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.
