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

  25. port as the boot console.

  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
  39. in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
  40. The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
  41. line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
  42. command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
  43. Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
  44. the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

  50. On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
  51. pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
  52. when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
  53. the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
  54. build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
  55. kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
  56. initialization routines.
  57. For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
  58. options.

  63. help
  64. By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
  65. command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.
  66. Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.
  67. Normally, you will choose 'N' here.

  79. If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
  80. If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See
  81. arch/mips/include/asm/debug.h for debugging macros.
  82. If unsure, say N.

  87. help
  88. If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the
  89. board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select
  90. SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to
  91. debug it.
  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.
  96. After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option
  97. to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
  98. little.
