Hi,
For netbooting i386 with preseed information, I have the line
append vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=9310 root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall rw console=ttyS0,9600n8 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text languagechooser/language-name=English console-keymaps-at/keymap=us countrychooser/shortlist=other countrychooser/country-name=Netherlands preseed/url=http://bahrain/gs/seeds/bd.text --
in pxelinux.cfg/default. That seems to be too long. In the syslog file is
Oct 9 22:44:07 kernel: Kernel command line: vga=normal initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=9310 root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall rw console=ttyS0,9600n8 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text languagechooser/language-name=English console-keymaps-at/keymap=us countrychooser/shortlist=other countrychooser/country-name=Nether
From "vga=normal" to the chomped "country-name=Nether" are 256
characters.
Is that a kernel limit or is in pxelinux?
I think it be checked with syslinux.
