Use run_command("setenv bootargs <label->append>") so that environment variables (e.g. $console) can be used in append strings.
I'm slightly worried that this changes the semantics of the append line in the PXE/extlinux config file. Namely, you suddenly have to start worrying about escaping any $ signs or semi-colons etc..
diff --git a/common/cmd_pxe.c b/common/cmd_pxe.c
if (!localcmd) return -ENOENT;
- if (label->append)
setenv("bootargs", label->append);
- if (label->append) {
bootargs = malloc(strlen("setenv bootargs ") +strlen(label->append) + 1);if (!bootargs)return 1;
Shouldn't this return a -ve error code for consistency with the other pre-existing error case I quoted above.
strcpy(bootargs, "setenv bootargs ");strcat(bootargs, label->append);run_command(bootargs, 0);
Using whatever C function that the shell uses to expand variable references in the command-line, rather than run_command(), would at least avoid the issue of ; in label->append causing part of label->append after the ; to be execututed as a separate command.
There would still be the issue of $ suddenly meaning something different.
