From c1c490e017b66b31f6559db9cbb51a3ce00cf639 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Kitching Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:57:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: prevent initramfs printk message being split by messages from other code. initramfs uses printk without a linefeed, then does some work, then uses printk to finish the message off. However if some other code does a printk in between, then the messages get mixed together. Better for each message to be an independent line...
