The Linux kernel accepts boot time parameters as it starts to boot system. This is used to inform kernel about various hardware parameters. You need boot time parameters:

  • Troubleshoot system
  • Hardware parameters that the kernel would not able to determine on its own
  • Force kernel to override the default hardware parameters in order to increase performance
  • Password and other recovery operations

The kernel command line syntax

name=value1,value2,value3…

Where,

  • name : Keyword name, for example, init, ro, boot etc
