------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I like the patch, because any information from within a boot loader is
interesting and could be useful. If a system is in a critical stage (does not
boot anymore), ANY information is probably welcome.
Apart from that, why not? Do we have a memory or disk limit?

Summary: Print loaded Linux kernel version
Original Submission: It would be nice if the loaded Linux kernel version was
printed in the kernel blurb.
Patch suggestion attached.
grub> kernel /vmlinuz
[Linux-bzImage 2.4.18-3 (address@hidden) #1 Thu Apr 18 07:3
7:53 EDT 2002, setup=0x1400, size=0xfa203]
The patch also moves the printout of the kernel blurb before the zImage
validation, allowing one to see what it was that did not fit..

I don't see why it is so useful, because I always name
kernel images with version numbers. Also, I feel it too
verbose.
Of course, that's my subjectivity. So I don't object,
if many people agree with you.
Thanks,
Okuji

No comments on this one? Still using it and find it quite helpful when dealing
with different kernel versions etc..
