Hi all

   Anyone has intesting about bug 17474 (at http://bugs.archlinux.org/) ?
When a kernel param begins with digital, the initrd scrip (/lib/initcpio/init)
will fail. At least one such kernel param is found: "8250.nr_uarts=xxx"

   Because the 8250 is a driver name and that driver is compiled into 
the kernel( not as a module),so the only way to set param of it is by kernel 
cmdline. But in initrc scripts, the "case" block does handle that correctly.

   I beg the maintainer fix this bug, please.
