I'm not sure whether this counts, I mean what you see in /proc/cmdline.
The cmd line arguments there are anyway merged together, I still believe
that the kernel gets the right argument, although the /proc/cmdline
does not show the quotes. And in fact that is right, because the
quotes are not part of the argument.

And in fact here on my laptop switching works without any problems.

So are you sure that these additional quotes are necessary? I am not.

Thanks for the rest of information, will look that up.

Best wishes

Norbert

They all shook their heads.
`Oh well.'
