From 473e66fd24a230e03f6f164913bedb81c0ba052a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Horms <horms@verge.net.au> Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:52:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] kexec: fix references to init in documentation for kexec I've noticed that the boot options are not correct for in the documentation for kdump. The "init" keyword is not necessary, and causes a kernel panic when booting with an initrd on Fedora 5.
