Package: linux-image-686 Severity: wishlist Foolishly I put this at the top of lilo.conf, experimenting: append="acpi=off noapic noisapnp pci=off pnpacpi=off pnpbios=off" This caused all the images in lilo.conf to become unbootable (E.g., kernel modules couldn't be installed, waiting 8, 16, 32 seconds for disk, the messages said, whatever, that's besides the issue.)
What is bothering me is there is no way to put the "antidote" parameters on the end of the lilo prompt (you know, where one can type S or single to boot single user mode.) I.e., I wish I could do acpi=on apic isapnp pci=on pnpacpi=on as an antidote, so I suppose the sum would be: Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=2.6... ro root=UUID=... acpi=off noapic noisapnp pci=off pnpacpi=off acpi=on apic isapnp pci=on pnpacpi=on Alas, there is just no way to counteract bad parameters from an unfortunate "append" line in lilo.conf, with good parameters added at the lilo boot prompt. Therefore, the user might very well lock himself out of his system, with indeed the list of bad parameters staring him in the face via Shift+PgUp, but unable to counteract them from the lilo boot prompt. (I ended up installing "potato" onto an empty partition from an old CDROM and finally was able to run an old lilo to fix my mess. Very rural here, big rainstorm, no vehicle anyway.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
