Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:43:16 -0400 (EDT) From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@...dspring.com> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> cc: geert@...ux-m68k.org, Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org> Subject: [PATCH] Remove final traces of long-deprecated "ramdisk" kernel parm. Since the "ramdisk" kernel parameter has been officially deprecated since at least 2.6.18, might as well finally get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...dspring.com> --- compile tested with "make defconfig" under i386. did i miss any equally-deletable references?
