[PATCH] various doc/kernel-parameters fixes

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

 



From: Randy Dunlap <[email protected]>

- tell what APIC (by request), MTD, & PARIDE mean
- correct some source file names
- remove IA64 "llsc*=" (seems to have been removed from source tree)
- removel SCSI "53c7xx=" (driver already removed)
