Hello, I have an amd64 machine where default kernels do not boot. Sure, the problem should be fixed, but I'm lazy to track it down so I implemented something else that serves me as a workaround and will be useful in the general case too. What I have done is add a 'userconf' command to /boot (and /boot.cfg) that can pass random userconf commands to the kernel. This way I can disable a driver without having to rebuild a custom kernel. Patch attached. I know others are trying to do something similar. But this simple approach merges well with other commands in /boot (e.g. load) and is simple. I'd like to commit this right now. Thanks, -- Julio M. Merino Vidal <jmmv84%gmail.com@localhost>
