I believe I can understand this bug ("Fail to enter rc1.d by putting 1
in bootparam in edgy") being marked as low priority.
I don't agree that the bug I files (#123147) should be a low priority.
Choosing a valid host name for a server should certainly not result in a
failure to boot correctly. It certainly wasn't the first place I looked
when it happened to me.

There's always something to be said about picking the low hanging fruit.
I offered, although it seems not very strongly, to write up a fix for
this problem in June of 2007. I asked again a few days ago if a patch
would be welcome. I assume you're saying that assistance is not
welcomed, then? The fix is simple enough, the -w switch for grep just
isn't the right way to separate parameters on the kernel command line.
