50 console=X This sets up serial console access for the CD. The first
51 option is the device, usually ttyS0 on x86, followed by any
52 connection options, which are comma separated. The default
53 options are 9600,8,n,1.

56 dmraid=X This allows for passing options to the device-mapper RAID
57 subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes.

81 that is requiring this option.

84 ide=nodma This forces the disabling of DMA in the kernel and is required
85 by some IDE chipsets and also by some CDROM drives. If your
86 system is having trouble reading from your IDE CDROM, try this
87 option. This also disables the default hdparm settings from
88 being executed.
