14 | This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel | |
15 | to print messages very early in the bootup process. | |
16 | ||
17 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | |
18 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation, | |
19 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and | |
20 | doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here, | |
21 | unless you want to debug such a crash. | |

35 | For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that | |
36 | by default specifies the kernel command line options. However, | |
37 | it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the | |
38 | default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it. | |
39 | For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own | |
40 | command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you | |
41 | should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments | |
42 | in CONFIG_CMDLINE. | |
43 | ||
44 | The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command | |
45 | line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default | |
46 | command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string. | |
47 | ||
48 | Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon | |
49 | the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader. | |

3e7f9b82 | 56 | On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to |
6acc7d48 DV |
57 | pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases |
58 | when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore | |
59 | the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at | |
60 | build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify | |
61 | kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom | |
62 | initialization routines. | |

72 | By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore | |
73 | command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader. | |
74 | Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively. | |
75 | ||
76 | Normally, you will choose 'N' here. | |

111 | SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to | |
112 | debug it. | |
113 | ||
114 | If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you | |
115 | can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to | |
116 | debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as | |
117 | arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does. | |
118 | ||
119 | After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option | |
120 | to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a | |
