Hi Folks,
 I've come across an issue when creating an installUSB (to apply to a HDD)

BTW: I'm using menlow-lpia

Basically I need to make sure that boot=disk is always applied to the kernel 
params (the params are irrelevant here).

In MIC, when this is added to: Target config | HDD boot config, 
InstallImage.py picks it up and applies it to 'kopt=' in menu.lst.

The problem is that kopt_2_6 (also in menu.lst) supercedes kopt. This appears 
to be a bug/known feature in update-grub:
ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/76226

This means that none of the kernel parameters that we apply inside MIC, ever 
gets picked up & actioned by grub on boot. I

An (arguably) ideal solution would be to merge kopt with kopt_2_6 inside 
update-grub. An  interim, possibly more practical MIC  solution, would be to 
modify InstallImage.py to apply the settings to kopt_2_6 instead of kopt.

Comments and suggestions welcome,
/Will
