* [IPV4] ipconfig: Fix regression in ip command line processingAmos Waterland2008-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current 2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address assignment, which is surely a regression: ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

* [IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.Simon Horman2007-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on) is the default. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* [IPV4]: Updates to nfsroot documentationAmos Waterland2007-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | The difference between ip=off and ip=::::::off has been a cause of much confusion. Document how each behaves, and do not contradict ourselves by saying that "off" is the default when in fact "any" is the default and is descibed as being so lower in the file.

* [PATCH] fix the defaults mentioned in Documentation/nfsroot.txtDan Aloni2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the documentation of nfsroot to match NFS_DEF_FILE_IO_SIZE. Or perhaps we need to change NFS_DEF_FILE_IO_SIZE to match the documentation?

* [PATCH] nfs: Update Documentation/nfsroot.txt to include dhcp, syslinux and ↵Horms2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | isolinux * Document the ip command a little differently to make the interaction between defaults and autoconfiguration a little clearer (I hope) * Update autoconfiguration the current set of options, including DHCP * Update the boot methods to add syslinux and isolinux, and remove dd of=/dev/fd0 which is no longer supported by linux * Add a referance to initramfs along side initrd. Should the latter and its document be removed some time soon? * Various cleanups to put the text consistently into the thrid person * Reformated a bit to fit into 80 columns a bit more nicely * Should the bootloaders documentation be removed or split into a separate documentation, it seems somewhat out of scope Signed-off-by: Horms <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: "H.

* [PATCH] Updated Documentation/nfsroot.txtNico Schottelius2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I today booted the first time my embedded device using Linux 2.6.15.2, which was booted by pxelinux, which then bootet itself from the nfsroot. This went pretty fine, but when I was reading through Documentation/nfsroot.txt I saw that there are some more modern versions available of loading the kernel and passing parameters.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
