Description vtkstef 2004-01-28 23:54:44 UTC

the script is under /usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc. The problem is in the command line processing where MY_HWOPTS is built in the following manner:

  MY_HWOPTS="MY_HWOPTS $x"

while it should be

  MY_HWOPTS="${MY_HWOPTS} $x"


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. it's a programming error in /usr/share/genkernel/generic/linuxrc
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
if I specify doscsi as boot option, it fails to boot the machine correctly


running genkernel 3.01_b8
