Rpi boots with boot.scr and does not with extlinux.conf

[Laurentiu-Cristian Duca]

I did it.

The solution was
append: 8250.nr_uarts=1 bcm2708_fb.fbwidth=656 bcm2708_fb.fbheight=416
bcm2708_fb.fbswap=1 smsc95xx.macaddr=B8:27:EB:AA:52:0F
vc_mem.mem_base=0x1ec00000 vc_mem.mem_size
=0x20000000  root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200

Is there any way to enter the /chosen bootargs in append line?

Thanks
