Book I Chapter 3 Troubleshooting and Configuring Linux Resolving Other Installation Problems 79 Table 3-3 Some Linux Boot Options Use This Boot Option To Do This askmethod Prompts you for other installation methods, such as installing over the network using NFS, FTP, or HTTP. apic Works around a bug commonly encountered in the Intel 440GX chipset BIOS and only executes with the installation program kernel. acpi=off Disables ACPI in case there are problems with ACPI. dd Prompts for a driver disk during the installation of Red Hat Linux. display=IP_ Causes the installer GUI to appear on the remote system identiaddress: 0 fied by the IP address. (Make sure that you run the command xhost +hostname on the remote system where hostname is the host where you are running the installer.) driverdisk Performs the same function as the dd command. enforcing=0 Turns off Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) mandatory access control. expert Enables you to partition removable media and prompts for a driver disk. ide=nodma Disables DMA (direct memory access) on all IDE devices and can be useful when you are having IDE-related problems. ks Configures the Ethernet card using DHCP and then runs a kickstart installation by using a kickstart file from an NFS server identified by the bootServer parameters provided by the DHCP server. ks=kickstart Runs a kickstart installation by using the kickstart file specified by file kickstartfile. (The idea behind kickstart is to create a text file with all the installation options and then kick start the installation by booting and then providing the kickstart file as input.) lowres Forces the installer GUI to run at a lower resolution (640 x 480). mediacheck Prompts you if you want to check the integrity of the CD image (also called the ISO image). Checking the image is done by computing the MD5 checksum and comparing that with the official Fedora Core value. It can take a few minutes to check a CD-ROM. mem=xxxM Overrides the amount of memory the kernel detects in the PC (some older machines could detect only 16MB of memory, and on some new machines, the video card may use a portion of the main memory). Replace xxx with the number representing the megabytes of memory in your PC. nmi_watchdog=1 Enables the built-in kernel deadlock detector that makes use of Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI). noapic Prevents the kernel from using the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) chip. (Use this command on motherboards known to have a bad APIC.) (continued)
