[ PATCH ] fix to documentation for kexec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I've noticed that the boot options are not correct for in 
the documentation for kdump. The "init" keyword is not 
necessary, and causes a kernel panic when booting with an 
initrd on Fedora 5.

Thanks;
Judith Lebzelter
