Description
The following parameters can be used to load Linux kernel in a special mode:
acpi=off
Disables
ACPI
and may help with a particular hardware configuration.
noapic
Disables APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) and may help with a
particular hardware configuration.
nousb
Disables loading of USB modules.
nousb2
Disables USB 2.0 support. USB 1.1 devices still work with this option. This option
allows using some USB drives in USB 1.1 mode, if they do not work in USB 2.0 mode.
quiet
This parameter is enabled by default and the startup messages are not displayed.
Deleting it will result in the startup messages being displayed as the Linux kernel is
loaded and the command
shell
being offered prior to running the BlackArmor
program.
nodma
Disables DMA for all IDE disk drives. Prevents kernel from freezing on some
hardware.
nofw
Disables FireWire (IEEE1394) support.
nopcmcia
Disables PCMCIA hardware detection.
nomouse
Disables mouse support.
[module name]=off
Disables the module (e.g.
