Install LiveCD 1.4rc2: system discard kernel boot options ?

abeloin

Hi,

I try to add "ide=nomda" at booting to prevent my machine from hanging at the partition check because of a problem with the ali driver. It completly ignore it and hang at the same place.

This is what I type at boot screen: gentoo ide=nodma

Also, when I tried to disable acpi (with gentoo acpi=no), gentoo still boot with acpi, completly bypassing the command I give to it.

Is kernel boot options discarded when booting with the LiveCD?

Or I made a typo, if so how to add that parameter to the kernel?

P.S.: I'm using a Compaq Presario 900US

I'm new to this gentoo thing...
but I found an answer.

We're both using the same basic configuration (i have the hp ze4145).

I was looking at another post on here and saw that the guy used:
acpi=off
instead of
acpi=no

i was having a similar problem as you, but I tried the acpi=off and it worked!

hope that helps!
