Hi list, I was wondering why " cannot be escaped when parsing kernel parameters in kernel/params.c. Given a disk label like 'foo " bar' and passing something to the kernel command line like real_root=LABEL="foo \" bar" this would make 'bar' a kernel parameter which is misleading imho. Any ideas why this path was chosen and how I am supposed to pass such a parameter that it is considered as one entity? -- Mierswa, Daniel If you still don't like it, that's ok: that's why I'm boss.
