It seems lilo also have no support for such parameters. append="video=9-pin DIN:1024x768...@60e" does not work (kernel panic: DIN: bad variable name) As I understand, I should pass somehow to kernel string like: video="9-pin DIN:1024x768...@60e", but lilo uses doublequotes as r-value bounds. in_quote variable in next_arg() is set only for " character. ___ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel

It seems lilo also have no support for such parameters. append="video=9-pin DIN:1024x768-24 at 60e" does not work (kernel panic: DIN: bad variable name) As I understand, I should pass somehow to kernel string like: video="9-pin DIN:1024x768-24 at 60e", but lilo uses doublequotes as r-value bounds. in_quote variable in next_arg() is set only for " character.
