If it panics on attempting to mount the root file system, then you |
| 18 |
probably would be able to use the S-PgUp if you give the "rootwait" or |
| 19 |
"rootdelay=<#>", where "<#>" is a number of seconds. "rootwait" would |
| 20 |
tell the kernel to wait until it really thinks it can mount the root |
| 21 |
filesystem before mounting it; "rootdelay=10" would tell the kernel to |
| 22 |
wait 10 seconds before mounting. Either way, you may be able to scroll |
| 23 |
up during the delay (I don't remember if it initializes the keyboard |
| 24 |
driver before or after the root filesystem, it's been a while since I've |
| 25 |
had to debug that part of startup). |
