1 Hardware options (Page 1):
2 acpi=on This loads support for ACPI and also causes the acpid daemon to
3 be started by the CD on boot. This is only needed if your
4 system requires ACPI to function properly. This is not
5 required for Hyperthreading support.
6 acpi=off Completely disables ACPI. This is useful on some older systems
7 and is also a requirement for using APM. This will disable any
8 Hyperthreading support of your processor.
9 console=X This sets up serial console access for the CD. The first
10 option is the device, usually ttyS0 on x86, followed by any
11 connection options, which are comma separated. The default
12 options are 9600,8,n,1.
13 dmraid=X This allows for passing options to the device-mapper RAID
14 subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes.
15 doapm This loads APM driver support. This requires you to also use
17 dopcmcia This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also
18 causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot.
19 This is only required when booting from PCMCIA/Cardbus devices.
20 doscsi This loads support for most SCSI controllers. This is also a
21 requirement for booting most USB devices, as they use the SCSI
22 subsystem of the kernel.
