[bug #13606] GRUB should allow Linux command-line>256 bytes with boot protocol>2.02

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #13606 (project grub):

Hello,

At kernel 2.6.14 we finally succeeded in modifying the document:

-----

>From THE LINUX/I386 BOOT PROTOCOL:

The kernel command line is a null-terminated string currently up to 255
characters long, plus the final null.  A string that is too long will be
automatically truncated by the kernel, a boot loader may allow a longer
command line to be passed to permit future kernels to extend this limit.

-----

Can you please consider to pass the whole arg contents to the kernel? It
should be safe now to assume this is expected behavior.

Next kernel will most probably be released with default of 1024 command line
buffer, so let's get ready...

Thanks!
Alon Bar-Lev
