[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-changelog] Change the Xen command-line parameter syntax. 'noacpi' and
ChangeSet 1.1441, 2005/05/11 17:18:30+01:00, kaf24@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Change the Xen command-line parameter syntax. 'noacpi' and
'ignorebiostables' are gone. 'dom0_mem' can optionally take a k/m/g
suffix to specify units (default units are still kilobytes).
Also added:
1. 'mem=xxx' to specify maximum physical RAM address (supports
k/m/g suffix)
2. acpi=xxx/acpi_skip_timer_override/noapic: These all have same
semantics as in Linux. They are *automatically* propagated to
the domain0 command line, as dom0 shares resposibility for
platform initialisation.
