43 -<comment>Hardware options:</comment>
44 -
45 -acpi=on This loads support for ACPI and also causes the acpid daemon to
46 - be started by the CD on boot. This is only needed if your
47 - system requires ACPI to function properly. This is not
48 - required for Hyperthreading support.
49 -
50 -acpi=off Completely disables ACPI. This is useful on some older systems
51 - and is also a requirement for using APM. This will disable any
52 - Hyperthreading support of your processor.
53 -
54 -console=X This sets up serial console access for the CD. The first
55 - option is the device, usually ttyS0 on x86, followed by any
56 - connection options, which are comma separated. The default
57 - options are 9600,8,n,1.
58 -
59 -dmraid=X This allows for passing options to the device-mapper RAID
60 - subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes.
61 -doapm This loads APM driver support. This requires you to also use
62 - acpi=off.
63 -
64 -dopcmcia This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also
65 - causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot.
66 - This is only required when booting from PCMCIA/Cardbus devices.
67 -
68 -doscsi This loads support for most SCSI controllers. This is also a
69 - requirement for booting most USB devices, as they use the SCSI
70 - subsystem of the kernel.
71 -
72 -hda=stroke This allows you to partition the whole hard disk even when your
73 - BIOS is unable to handle large disks. This option is only used
74 - on machines with an older BIOS. Replace hda with the device
75 - that is requiring this option.
76 -
77 -ide=nodma This forces the disabling of DMA in the kernel and is required
78 - by some IDE chipsets and also by some CDROM drives. If your
79 - system is having trouble reading from your IDE CDROM, try this
80 - option. This also disables the default hdparm settings from
81 - being executed.
82 -
83 -noapic This disables the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
84 - that is present on newer motherboards. It has been known to
85 - cause some problems on older hardware.
86 -
87 -nodetect This disables all of the autodetection done by the CD,
88 - including device autodetection and DHCP probing. This is
89 - useful for doing debugging of a failing CD or driver.
90 -
91 -nodhcp This disables DHCP probing on detected network cards. This is
92 - useful on networks with only static addresses.
93 -
94 -nodmraid Disables support for device-mapper RAID, such as that used for
95 - on-board IDE/SATA RAID controllers.
96 -
97 -nofirewire This disables the loading of Firewire modules. This should
98 - only be necessary if your Firewire hardware is causing
99 - a problem with booting the CD.
100 -
101 -nogpm This diables gpm console mouse support.
102 -
103 -nohotplug This disables the loading of the hotplug and coldplug init
104 - scripts at boot. This is useful for doing debugging of a
105 - failing CD or driver.
106 -
107 -nokeymap This disables the keymap selection used to select non-US
108 - keyboard layouts.
109 -
110 -nolapic This disables the local APIC on Uniprocessor kernels.
111 -
112 -nosata This disables the loading of Serial ATA modules. This is used
113 - if your system is having problems with the SATA subsystem.
114 -
115 -nosmp This disables SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing, on SMP-enabled
116 - kernels. This is useful for debugging SMP-related issues with
117 - certain drivers and motherboards.
118 -
119 -nosound This disables sound support and volume setting. This is useful
120 - for systems where sound support causes problems.
121 -
122 -nousb This disables the autoloading of USB modules. This is useful
123 - for debugging USB issues.
124 -
125 -slowusb This adds some extra pauses into the boot process for slow
126 - USB CDROMs, like in the IBM BladeCenter.
127 -
128 -<comment>Volume/Device Management:</comment>
129 -
130 -doevms This enables support for IBM's pluggable EVMS, or Enterprise
131 - Volume Management System. This is not safe to use with lvm.
132 -
133 -dolvm This enables support for Linux's Logical Volume Management.
134 - This is not safe to use with evms.
135 -
136 -<comment>Other options:</comment>
137 -
138 -debug Enables debugging code. This might get messy, as it displays
139 - a lot of data to the screen.
140 -
141 -docache This caches the entire runtime portion of the CD into RAM,
142 - which allows you to umount /mnt/cdrom and mount another CDROM.
143 - This option requires that you have at least twice as much
144 - available RAM as the size of the CD.
145 -
146 -doload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to load any module listed, as
147 - well as dependencies. Replace X with the module name.
148 -
149 - Multiple modules can be specified by a comma-separated list.
150 -
151 -dosshd Starts sshd on boot, which is useful for unattended installs.
152 -
153 -passwd=foo Sets whatever follows the equals as the root password, which
154 - is required for dosshd since we scramble the root password.
155 -
156 -noload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a
157 - specific module that may be causing a problem. Syntax matches
158 - that of doload.
159 -
160 -nonfs Disables the starting of portmap/nfsmount on boot.
161 -
162 -nox This causes an X-enabled LiveCD to not automatically start X,
163 - but rather, to drop to the command line instead.

165
166 -scandelay This causes the CD to pause for 10 seconds during certain
167 - portions the boot process to allow for devices that are slow to
168 - initialize to be ready for use.

170 + <include href="../hb-install-kernelparams.xml"/>

172
173 -scandelay=X This allows you to specify a given delay, in seconds, to be
174 - added to certain portions of the boot process to allow for
175 - devices that are slow to initialize to be ready for use.
176 - Replace X with the number of seconds to pause.
