4 bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
5 depends on SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK
8 This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
9 to print messages very early in the bootup process.
11 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
12 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
13 it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
14 doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
15 unless you want to debug such a crash.

30 bool "Built-in kernel command line"
32 For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
33 by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
34 it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
35 default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
36 For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
37 command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
38 should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
41 The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
42 line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
43 command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
45 Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
46 the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.
49 string "Default kernel command string"
50 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
52 On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
53 pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
54 when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
55 the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
56 build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
57 kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
58 initialization routines.

63 config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
64 bool "Built-in command line overrides firmware arguments"
65 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
67 By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
68 command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.
69 Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.
71 Normally, you will choose 'N' here.

92 If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
93 can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to
94 debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as
95 arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.
