nomouse, noapic, etc.). These parameters are provided for advanced users. If you encounter any

hardware compatibility problems while testing boot from the rescue media, it may be best to contact

Acronis Technical Support.

To add startup parameters:

 Enter a command into the Parameters field. You can type several commands, separated by

Additional parameters that can be applied prior to booting Linux kernel

Description

The following parameters can be used to load Linux kernel in a special mode:

 acpi=off

Disables ACPI and may help with a particular hardware configuration.

 noapic

Disables APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) and may help with a particular

hardware configuration.

 nousb

Disables loading of USB modules.

 nousb2

Disables USB 2.0 support. USB 1.1 devices still work with this option. This option allows using some

USB drives in USB 1.1 mode, if they do not work in USB 2.0 mode.

 quiet

This parameter is enabled by default and the startup messages are not displayed. Deleting it will

result in the startup messages being displayed as the Linux kernel is loaded and the command shell

being offered prior to running the Acronis program.

 nodma

Disables DMA for all IDE disk drives. Prevents kernel from freezing on some hardware.

 nofw

Disables FireWire (IEEE1394) support.

 nopcmcia

Disables PCMCIA hardware detection.

 nomouse

Disables mouse support.

 [module name]=off

Disables the module (e.g. sata_sis=off).

 pci=bios

Forces to use PCI BIOS, and not to access the hardware device directly. For instance, this parameter

may be used if the machine has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
