Changed pentium-mmx to use -march=pentium-mmx and closing bug #102366.
subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes.
doapm This loads APM driver support. This requires you to also use
acpi=off.
+dobladecenter This adds some extra pauses into the boot process for the slow
+ USB CDROM of the IBM BladeCenter.
dopcmcia This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also
causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot.
This is only required when booting from a PCMCIA/Cardbus device.
Hardware options (Page 1):
acpi=on This loads support for ACPI and also causes the acpid daemon to
be started by the CD on boot. This is only needed if your
- system requires ACPI to function properly. This is not required
- for Hyperthreading support.
-acpi=off Completely disables ACPI. This is useful on some older systems,

+acpi=off Completely disables ACPI. This is useful on some older systems
and is also a requirement for using APM. This will disable any
Hyperthreading support of your processor.
console=X This sets up serial console access for the CD. The first
subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes.
doapm This loads APM driver support. This requires you to also use
acpi=off.

dopcmcia This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also
causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot.
- This is only required when booting from a PCMCIA/Cardbus device.
-doscsi This loads support for most SCSI controllers. This is also a
- requirement for booting most USB devices, as they use the SCSI
- subsystem of the kernel.

hda=stroke This allows you to partition the whole hard disk even when your
BIOS is unable to handle large disks. This option is only used
on machines with an older BIOS. Replace hda with the device
noapic This disables the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
that is present on newer motherboards. It has been known to
cause some problems on older hardware.
-nodetect This disables all of the autodetection done by the CD, including
- device autodetection and DHCP probing. This is useful for doing
- debugging of a failing CD or driver.

nodhcp This disables DHCP probing on detected network cards. This is
useful on networks with only static addresses.
nodmraid Disables support for device-mapper RAID, such as that used for
on-board IDE/SATA RAID controllers.
-nofirewire This disables the loading of Firewire modules. This should only
- be necessary if your Firewire hardware is causing a problem with
- booting the CD.
Hardware options (Page 3):
+nofirewire This disables the loading of Firewire modules. This should
+ only be necessary if your Firewire hardware is causing
+ a problem with booting the CD.
nogpm This diables gpm console mouse support.
nohotplug This disables the loading of the hotplug and coldplug init
scripts at boot. This is useful for doing debugging of a
nokeymap This disables the keymap selection used to select non-US
keyboard layouts.
nolapic This disables the local APIC on Uniprocessor kernels.
-nosata This disables the loading of Serial ATA modules. This is useful
+nosata This disables the loading of Serial ATA modules. This is used
if your system is having problems with the SATA subsystem.
nosmp This disables SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing, on SMP-enabled
kernels. This is useful for debugging SMP-related issues with
Volume Management System. This is not safe to use with lvm2.
dolvm2 This enables support for Linux's Logical Volume Management.
This is not safe to use with evms2.
-noudev This disables udev support on 2.6 kernels. This option requires
- that dodevfs is used. Since udev is not an option for 2.4
- kernels, this options has no effect if booting a 2.4 kernel.
+noudev This disables udev support on 2.6 kernels. This option
+ requires that dodevfs is used. Since udev is not an option for

unionfs Enables support for Unionfs on supported CD images. This will
create a writable Unionfs overlay in a tmpfs, allowing you to
change any file on the CD.
Other options:
debug Enables debugging code. This might get messy, as it displays
a lot of data to the screen.
-docache This caches the entire runtime portion of the CD into RAM, which
- allows you to umount /mnt/cdrom and mount another CDROM. This
- option requires that you have at least twice as much available
- RAM as the size of the CD.

doload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to load any module listed, as
- well as dependencies. Replace X with the module name. Multiple
- modules can be specified by a comma-separated list.

+ Multiple modules can be specified by a comma-separated list.
noload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a
specific module that may be causing a problem. Syntax matches
that of doload.
