+<comment>Hardware options:</comment> |
59 |
+ |
60 |
+acpi=on This loads support for ACPI and also causes the acpid daemon to |
61 |
+ be started by the CD on boot. This is only needed if your |
62 |
+ system requires ACPI to function properly. This is not |
63 |
+ required for Hyperthreading support. |
64 |
+ |
65 |
+acpi=off Completely disables ACPI. This is useful on some older systems |
66 |
+ and is also a requirement for using APM. This will disable any |
67 |
+ Hyperthreading support of your processor. |
68 |
+ |
69 |
+console=X This sets up serial console access for the CD. The first |
70 |
+ option is the device, usually ttyS0 on x86, followed by any |
71 |
+ connection options, which are comma separated. The default |
72 |
+ options are 9600,8,n,1. |
73 |
+ |
74 |
+dmraid=X This allows for passing options to the device-mapper RAID |
75 |
+ subsystem. Options should be encapsulated in quotes. |
76 |
+doapm This loads APM driver support. This requires you to also use |
77 |
+ acpi=off. |
78 |
+ |
79 |
+dopcmcia This loads support for PCMCIA and Cardbus hardware and also |
80 |
+ causes the pcmcia cardmgr to be started by the CD on boot. |
81 |
+ This is only required when booting from PCMCIA/Cardbus devices. |
82 |
+ |
83 |
+doscsi This loads support for most SCSI controllers. This is also a |
84 |
+ requirement for booting most USB devices, as they use the SCSI |
85 |
+ subsystem of the kernel. |
86 |
+ |
87 |
+hda=stroke This allows you to partition the whole hard disk even when your |
88 |
+ BIOS is unable to handle large disks. This option is only used |
89 |
+ on machines with an older BIOS. Replace hda with the device |
90 |
+ that is requiring this option. |
91 |
+ |
92 |
+ide=nodma This forces the disabling of DMA in the kernel and is required |
93 |
+ by some IDE chipsets and also by some CDROM drives. If your |
94 |
+ system is having trouble reading from your IDE CDROM, try this |
95 |
+ option. This also disables the default hdparm settings from |
96 |
+ being executed. |
97 |
+ |
98 |
+noapic This disables the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller |
99 |
+ that is present on newer motherboards. It has been known to |
100 |
+ cause some problems on older hardware. |
101 |
+ |
102 |
+nodetect This disables all of the autodetection done by the CD, |
103 |
+ including device autodetection and DHCP probing. This is |
104 |
+ useful for doing debugging of a failing CD or driver. |
105 |
+ |
106 |
+nodhcp This disables DHCP probing on detected network cards. This is |
107 |
+ useful on networks with only static addresses. |
108 |
+ |
109 |
+nodmraid Disables support for device-mapper RAID, such as that used for |
110 |
+ on-board IDE/SATA RAID controllers. |
111 |
+ |
112 |
+nofirewire This disables the loading of Firewire modules. This should |
113 |
+ only be necessary if your Firewire hardware is causing |
114 |
+ a problem with booting the CD. |
115 |
+ |
116 |
+nogpm This diables gpm console mouse support. |
117 |
+ |
118 |
+nohotplug This disables the loading of the hotplug and coldplug init |
119 |
+ scripts at boot. This is useful for doing debugging of a |
120 |
+ failing CD or driver. |
121 |
+ |
122 |
+nokeymap This disables the keymap selection used to select non-US |
123 |
+ keyboard layouts. |
124 |
+ |
125 |
+nolapic This disables the local APIC on Uniprocessor kernels. |
126 |
+ |
127 |
+nosata This disables the loading of Serial ATA modules. This is used |
128 |
+ if your system is having problems with the SATA subsystem. |
129 |
+ |
130 |
+nosmp This disables SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing, on SMP-enabled |
131 |
+ kernels. This is useful for debugging SMP-related issues with |
132 |
+ certain drivers and motherboards. |
133 |
+ |
134 |
+nosound This disables sound support and volume setting. This is useful |
135 |
+ for systems where sound support causes problems. |
136 |
+ |
137 |
+nousb This disables the autoloading of USB modules. This is useful |
138 |
+ for debugging USB issues. |
139 |
+ |
140 |
+slowusb This adds some extra pauses into the boot process for slow |
141 |
+ USB CDROMs, like in the IBM BladeCenter. |
142 |
+ |
143 |
+<comment>Volume/Device Management:</comment> |
144 |
+ |
145 |
+doevms This enables support for IBM's pluggable EVMS, or Enterprise |
146 |
+ Volume Management System. This is not safe to use with lvm. |
147 |
+ |
148 |
+dolvm This enables support for Linux's Logical Volume Management. |
149 |
+ This is not safe to use with evms. |
150 |
+ |
151 |
+<comment>Other options:</comment> |
152 |
+ |
153 |
+debug Enables debugging code. This might get messy, as it displays |
154 |
+ a lot of data to the screen. |
155 |
+ |
156 |
+docache This caches the entire runtime portion of the CD into RAM, |
157 |
+ which allows you to umount /mnt/cdrom and mount another CDROM. |
158 |
+ This option requires that you have at least twice as much |
159 |
+ available RAM as the size of the CD. |
160 |
+ |
161 |
+doload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to load any module listed, as |
162 |
+ well as dependencies. Replace X with the module name. |
163 |
+ |
164 |
+ Multiple modules can be specified by a comma-separated list. |
165 |
+ |
166 |
+dosshd Starts sshd on boot, which is useful for unattended installs. |
167 |
+ |
168 |
+passwd=foo Sets whatever follows the equals as the root password, which |
169 |
+ is required for dosshd since we scramble the root password. |
170 |
+ |
171 |
+noload=X This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a |
172 |
+ specific module that may be causing a problem. Syntax matches |
173 |
+ that of doload. |
174 |
+ |
175 |
+nonfs Disables the starting of portmap/nfsmount on boot. |
176 |
+ |
177 |
+nox This causes an X-enabled LiveCD to not automatically start X, |
178 |
+ but rather, to drop to the command line instead. |
179 |
+ |
180 |
+scandelay This causes the CD to pause for 10 seconds during certain |
181 |
+ portions the boot process to allow for devices that are slow to |
182 |
+ initialize to be ready for use. |
183 |
+ |
184 |
+scandelay=X This allows you to specify a given delay, in seconds, to be |
185 |
+ added to certain portions of the boot process to allow for |
186 |
+ devices that are slow to initialize to be ready for use. |
187 |
+ Replace X with the number of seconds to pause. |
188 |
</pre> |
189 |
|
190 |
+<note> |
191 |
+The CD will check for "no*" options before "do*" options, so that you can |
192 |
+override any option in the exact order you specify. |
193 |
+</note> |
