Boot options for openSUSE 10.3 x86_64
 

I'm excited I finally got a 64-bit linux distro to work on my HP dv9000. However, in order to boot up without a lock-up I have to type "noapic" at the boot menu. Is there anyway to write that option into a command file so that I don't have to sit at my computer while it boots up? That way I can turn it on and go do something else?

go to: yast -> system-> boot loader -> edit (the Suse 10.3 line)-> optional command line parameter

then add: noaipc

This is currently what I have in the "Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter:" box.

resume=/dev/sda5 splash=silent showopts

Is this what it would look like after adding "noapic"?

resume=/dev/sda5 splash=silent showopts noapic

as best as I can tell yes, I've also seen it as "acpi=off"

It worked. Thank you.
