Example (USB): linux (usb0)/vmlinuz idle=halt initrd (usb0)/initrd.gz boot Or CD (on the dock): linux (ata0)/vmlinuz idle=halt initrd (ata0)/initrd.gz boot
idle=halt turns off CPU throttling, which removes the whining noise. This is a workaround for a bug in the way coreboot handles power states. It happens when the CPU is idle (running at a lower speed).
