From fac8b209b1084bc85748bd54e13d00c1262b220f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:29:30 -0700 Subject: Remove final traces of long-deprecated "ramdisk" kernel parm Since the "ramdisk" kernel parameter has been officially deprecated since at least 2.6.18, might as well finally get rid of it.
