This part (now named linux16) is kept for backward compatibility only.
And it looks like current implementation of linux command doesn't suffer
this limitation. Can you confirm?
BTW I'm at ETH too

Hi,
Thanks for you
Hi again!
I checked the boot protocol documentation and found that since version
2.06 (kernel 2.6.22) there is a field with the supported command line size.
I updated my patch to respect this field if it is present, otherwise the
maximum 4k buffer is used.
Greets,

Hi!
I also don't know the exact details, it sure would be better to have some kind
of detection!
But the limit I set is not that arbitrary:

The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the

Hello!
I don't know the linux booting protocol in details but it looks like you

Thanks

I found a patch on this list from last year (
