bootparam \- introduction to boot time parameters of the Linux kernel
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2008-03-19 08:37:35 +00:00
|
|
|
The Linux kernel accepts certain 'command-line options' or 'boot time
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
parameters' at the moment it is started.
|
|
|
|
In general this is used to
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
supply the kernel with information about hardware parameters that
|
|
|
|
the kernel would not be able to determine on its own, or to avoid/override
|
|
|
|
the values that the kernel would otherwise detect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the kernel is booted directly by the BIOS (say from a floppy to
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
which you copied a kernel using 'cp zImage /dev/fd0'),
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
you have no opportunity to specify any parameters.
|
|
|
|
So, in order to take advantage of this possibility you have to
|
2013-07-21 22:14:10 +00:00
|
|
|
use a boot loader that is able to pass parameters, such as GRUB.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2013-06-08 03:35:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.\" The LILO program (LInux LOader) written by Werner Almesberger is the
|
|
|
|
.\" most commonly used.
|
|
|
|
.\" It has the ability to boot various kernels, and
|
|
|
|
.\" stores the configuration information in a plain text file.
|
|
|
|
.\" (See
|
|
|
|
.\" .BR lilo (8)
|
|
|
|
.\" and
|
|
|
|
.\" .BR lilo.conf (5).)
|
|
|
|
.\" LILO can boot DOS, OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD, UnixWare, etc., and is quite flexible.
|
2013-07-04 10:53:51 +00:00
|
|
|
.\"
|
2013-06-08 03:35:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.\" The other commonly used Linux loader is 'LoadLin', which is a DOS
|
|
|
|
.\" program that has the capability to launch a Linux kernel from the DOS
|
|
|
|
.\" prompt (with boot-args) assuming that certain resources are available.
|
|
|
|
.\" This is good for people that want to launch Linux from DOS.
|
2013-07-04 10:53:51 +00:00
|
|
|
.\"
|
2013-06-08 03:35:08 +00:00
|
|
|
.\" It is also very useful if you have certain hardware which relies on
|
|
|
|
.\" the supplied DOS driver to put the hardware into a known state.
|
|
|
|
.\" A common example is 'SoundBlaster Compatible' sound cards that require
|
|
|
|
.\" the DOS driver to twiddle a few mystical registers to put the card
|
|
|
|
.\" into a SB compatible mode.
|
|
|
|
.\" Booting DOS with the supplied driver, and
|
|
|
|
.\" then loading Linux from the DOS prompt with loadlin avoids the reset
|
|
|
|
.\" of the card that happens if one rebooted instead.

First, the kernel
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
checks to see if the argument is any of the special arguments 'root=',
|
2008-01-30 09:43:13 +00:00
|
|
|
\&'nfsroot=', 'nfsaddrs=', 'ro', 'rw', 'debug' or 'init'.

2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
The meaning of these special arguments is described below.

2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
Then it walks a list of setup functions (contained in the bootsetups
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
array) to see if the specified argument string (such as 'foo') has
|
|
|
|
been associated with a setup function ('foo_setup()') for a particular
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
device or part of the kernel.
|
|
|
|
If you passed the kernel the line
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
foo=3,4,5,6 then the kernel would search the bootsetups array to see
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
if 'foo' was registered.
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
If it was, then it would call the setup
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
function associated with 'foo' (foo_setup()) and hand it the arguments
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
3, 4, 5 and 6 as given on the kernel command line.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
Anything of the form 'foo=bar' that is not accepted as a setup function
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
as described above is then interpreted as an environment variable to
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
be set.
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00

|
A (useless?) example would be to use 'TERM=vt100' as a boot

|
argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any remaining arguments that were not picked up by the kernel and were
|
|
|
|
not interpreted as environment variables are then passed onto process

The default of this setting is determined

The more awkward and less portable numeric specification of the above

This can be useful (for example) to

In some machines it may be necessary to prevent device drivers from
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
checking for devices (auto-probing) in a specific region.
|
|
|
|
This may be
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
because of hardware that reacts badly to the probing, or hardware
|
|
|
|
that would be mistakenly identified, or merely
|
|
|
|
hardware you don't want the kernel to initialize.

The reserve boot-time argument specifies an I/O port region that
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00

shouldn't be probed.
|
|
|
|
A device driver will not probe a reserved region,

|
|
unless another boot argument explicitly specifies that it do so.

the amount of installed memory was designed only to be able

2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|

to report up to 64MB.
|
|

Linux uses this BIOS call at boot to
|
|
|

determine how much memory is installed.
|
|
|
|
If you have more than 64MB of
|
2013-06-12 12:17:51 +00:00
|
|
|
RAM installed, you can use this boot argument to tell Linux how much memory
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
you have.
|
|
|
|
The value is in decimal or hexadecimal (prefix 0x),
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
and the suffixes 'k' (times 1024) or 'M' (times 1048576) can be used.

The kernel will accept any 'mem=xx' parameter you give it, and if it
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
turns out that you lied to it, it will crash horribly sooner or later.
|
|
|
|
The parameter indicates the highest addressable RAM address, so
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
\&'mem=0x1000000' means you have 16MB of memory, for example.
|
|
|
|
For a 96MB machine this would be 'mem=0x6000000'.

some machines might use the top of memory for BIOS

caching or whatever, so you might not actually have up to the full
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00

|
|
96MB addressable.
|
|
|
|
The reverse is also true: some chipsets will map
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
the physical memory that is covered by the BIOS area into the area
|
|
|
|
just past the top of memory, so the top-of-mem might actually be 96MB
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00

|
+ 384kB for example.

|

If you tell linux that it has more memory than

it actually does have, bad things will happen: maybe not at once, but

In Linux 1.3.48, ramdisk handling was changed drastically.
|
|
|
|
Earlier, the memory was allocated statically, and there was
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
a 'ramdisk=N' parameter to tell its size.

|
|
(This could also be set in the kernel image at compile time.)
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00

"filesystem" is the form used by the great majority of man pages
outside the man-pages project and in a number of other sources,
so let's go with that.

.SS Boot arguments for SCSI devices
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00

General notation for this section:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I iobase
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
-- the first I/O port that the SCSI host occupies.
|
|
|
|
These are specified in hexadecimal notation,
|
|
|
|
and usually lie in the range from 0x200 to 0x3ff.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I irq
|
|
|
|
-- the hardware interrupt that the card is configured to use.
|
|
|
|
Valid values will be dependent on the card in question, but will
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
usually be 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15.
|
|
|
|
The other values are usually
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
used for common peripherals like IDE hard disks, floppies, serial
|
2012-05-06 20:12:14 +00:00
|
|
|
ports, and so on.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I scsi-id
|
|
|
|
-- the ID that the host adapter uses to identify itself on the
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
SCSI bus.
|
|
|
|
Only some host adapters allow you to change this value, as
|
|
|
|
most have it permanently specified internally.
|
|
|
|
The usual default value
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
is 7, but the Seagate and Future Domain TMC-950 boards use 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.I parity
|
|
|
|
-- whether the SCSI host adapter expects the attached devices
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
to supply a parity value with all information exchanges.
|
|
|
|
Specifying a one indicates parity checking is enabled,
|
|
|
|
and a zero disables parity checking.
|
|
|
|
Again, not all adapters will support selection of parity
|
2007-06-08 09:56:56 +00:00
|
|
|
behavior as a boot argument.

|
A SCSI device can have a number of 'subdevices' contained within
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
itself.
|
|
|
|
The most common example is one of the new SCSI CD-ROMs that
|
|
|
|
handle more than one disk at a time.
|
|
|
|
Each CD is addressed as a
|
2008-01-30 09:43:13 +00:00
|
|
|
\&'Logical Unit Number' (LUN) of that particular device.
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
But most
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
devices, such as hard disks, tape drives and such are only one device,
|
|
|
|
and will be assigned to LUN zero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some poorly designed SCSI devices cannot handle being probed for
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
LUNs not equal to zero.
|
2008-03-19 08:43:21 +00:00
|
|
|
Therefore, if the compile-time flag
|
2007-12-16 16:12:44 +00:00
|
|
|
.B CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN
|
|
|
|
is not set, newer kernels will by default only probe LUN zero.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To specify the number of probed LUNs at boot, one enters
|
2008-01-30 09:43:13 +00:00
|
|
|
\&'max_scsi_luns=n' as a boot arg, where n is a number between one and
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
eight.
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems as described above, one would use n=1 to
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
avoid upsetting such broken devices.

The default
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|

.I buf_size
|
|
|
|
is 32kB, and the maximum size that can be specified is a
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
ridiculous 16384kB.
|
|

The
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
.I write_threshold
|
|
|
|
is the value at which the buffer is committed to tape, with a
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
default value of 30kB.
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of buffers varies
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
with the number of drives detected, and has a default of two.

2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|

0x330, 0x334.

The
|
|
|
|
.IR buson ", " busoff
|
|
|
|
values refer to the number of microseconds that the
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
card dominates the ISA bus.
|
|
|
|
The defaults are 11us on, and 4us off, so
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
that other cards (such as an ISA LANCE Ethernet card) have a chance to
|
|
|
|
get access to the ISA bus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.I dmaspeed
|
|
|
|
value refers to the rate (in MB/s) at which the DMA
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
(Direct Memory Access) transfers proceed.
|
|
|
|
The default is 5MB/s.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Newer revision cards allow you to select this value as part of the
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00

|
|
soft-configuration, older cards use jumpers.
|

You can use values up to
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
10MB/s assuming that your motherboard is capable of handling it.
|
|
|
|
Experiment with caution if using values over 5MB/s.

The text

The parameters N1-N5 are integers.

|
|
|
The parameters S1,... are strings.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
N1 is the I/O Address at which the Host Adapter is located.
|
|
|
|
N2 is the Tagged Queue Depth to use for Target Devices that support
|
|
|
|
Tagged Queuing.
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
N3 is the Bus Settle Time in seconds.
|
|
|
|
This is the amount of time
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
to wait between a Host Adapter Hard Reset which
|
|
|
|
initiates a SCSI Bus Reset and issuing any SCSI Commands.
|
|
|
|
N4 is the Local Options (for one Host Adapter).
|
|
|
|
N5 is the Global Options (for all Host Adapters).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The string options are used to provide control over Tagged Queuing
|
|
|
|
(TQ:Default, TQ:Enable, TQ:Disable, TQ:<Per-Target-Spec>), over
|
|
|

|
will tell the driver to work without using interrupts, albeit at a

The type value specifies the particular manufacturer of the card,

|

given with the same designation, they are equivalent.
|
|

The xd_setup() function does no checking on the values, and assumes

The parameters maybe given as integers, or as strings.
|
|
|
|
If strings are used, then iobase and membase should be given

in hexadecimal.

|
|
|
The integer arguments (fewer may be given) are in order:
|
|

status (Enable(1) or Disable(0) this card),
|
|
|
|
type (PC/Xi(0), PC/Xe(1), PC/Xeve(2), PC/Xem(3)),

|
|
|
iobase (I/O Port where card is configured (in HEX)),
|
|
|
|
membase (base of memory window (in HEX)).
|

You can tell the printer driver what ports to use and what ports not
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
The latter comes in handy if you don't want the printer driver
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
to claim all available parallel ports, so that other drivers
|
2007-06-08 11:56:22 +00:00
|
|
|
(e.g., PLIP, PPA) can use them instead.
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
The format of the argument is multiple port names.
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
lp=none,parport0 would use the first parallel port for lp1, and
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
disable lp0.
|
|
|
|
To disable the printer driver entirely, one can use
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
lp=0.
