13 You pass the parameters in the kernel boot line. For examen, in my
14 grub.conf I have:
15
16 title Gentoo Linux (linux-2.6.31.5)
17 root (hd0,3)
18 kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.31.5 root=/dev/sda4 quiet udev
19 splash=silent,fadein,theme:natural_gentoo CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
20 iwlagn.swcrypto=1 snd-hda-intel.model=basic
21 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5
22
23 I have two parameters for my built-in modules: for the iwlagn module,
24 the parameter swcrypto=1, and for the snd-hda-intel the parameter
25 model= basic. In general, for a built-in module called "module", you
26 pass the parameter "parm" with value "val" this way:
27
28 module.parm=val
29
30 As of now, in my laptop I have *all* my modules built-in. In other
31 machines, I have modules where there is no other option (like nvidia
32 drivers, LIRC, ndiswrapper, stuff like that).
33
34 Good luck.
