Usually palo (the PA-RISC boot loader) will check at boot time if the machine/firmware was configured to use the serial line (ttyS0, SERIAL_x) or the graphical display (tty0, graph) as default output device and add the correct "console=ttyS0" or "console=tty0" Linux kernel parameter to the kernel command line when starting the Linux kernel. But the kernel could also have been started via the HP-UX boot loader or directly in qemu, in which cases the console parameter is missing. This patch fixes this problem by adding the correct console= parameter if it's missing in the current kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
