Currently, kernel boot args are set in lilo and grub specific locations. It would be nice if there was a central location for boot loaders to pull kernel args. I'd recommend something like /etc/kernel/. The goals would be to allow packages to set kernel args and bootloader options (ie, devfsd may want to set "devfs=mount", selinux packages may want to enable or disable selinux in the kernel, and so on) for all packages. Also, another layer on top of that would allow setting of kernel args and bootloader options for specific kernels (so a kernel-image package could set initrd=/initrd-<version>, and kernels compiled by admins that don't have initrds wouldn't have that set). Is something like this already planned? It would be nice to have lilo.conf and menu.lst automatically regenerated after a kernel upgrade, without having to have the admin edit the file(s), as they currently have to do.
