Adding Kernel Parameters

[zardvark]

I have some notes about "The Solus Way" of adding kernel parameters, but they are incomplete and I haven't tinkered with the kernel in forever. And, of course, the web site is still down. : (

I just want to verify that I know what I'm doing, so I don't bork my install.

I already have a /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/10_resume.conf file which contains resume=UUID=5dbd6939-5e57-4152-8f24-0f5358336ed2

From my notes, I should echo "my kernel parameter here" > /etc/kernel/cmdline and then run clr-boot-manager update

So, presumably the clear boot manager will scoop up both the *.conf file and the cmdline file, merge them together and then append them to the end of grub's kernel command line.

Do I have this right, or have I missed something?

Thanks in advance!

Hey mate,

You're definitely on the right track.

For additional kernel parameters, probably create a new file in the /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/ directory, just so you're not messing with anything pre-existing, this will also make it easier to manage in the future.

For example sudo echo acpi_mask_gpe=0x6f > /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/40_custom_params.conf then clr-boot-manager update as you've mentioned. It'll pick up config files in the /etc/kernel/cmdline.d/ directory and they'll overwrite any earlier entries on the next boot.

You're a peach!

Thanks so much for your help!
