Linux Boot Options This list contains many of the most common boot options for GRUB. When presented with the text on the screen "boot:" then the boot options below can be given. They must have the kernel name before the option. Example Adding the vga=771 option: boot: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash boot: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash vga=771 Options can be used together such as in this example: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash noapic nolapic Kernel Options Note: These options are used by the kernel, and will apply to any installation at any time. The file "Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt" in the relevant linux-source package provides more information. Option Impact vga=xxx Set your framebuffer resolution to VESA mode xxx. Check here for a list of possible modes. acpi=off OR noacpi This parameter disables the whole ACPI system. This may prove very useful, for example, if your computer does not support ACPI or if you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance random reboots or system lockups). acpi=force Activates the ACPI system even if your computer BIOS date is older than 2000. This parameter overwrites acpi=off and can also be used with current hardware if the ACPI support is not activated despite apm=off. pci=noacpi OR acpi=noirq These parameters disable the PCI IRQ routing pci=acpi This parameter activates the PCI IRQ routing acpi_irq_balance ACPI is allowed to use PIC interrupts to minimize the common use of IRQs. acpi_irq_nobalance ACPI is not allowed to use PIC interrupts. acpi=oldboot Deactivates the ACPI system almost completely; only the components required for the boot process will be used. acpi=ht Impact Deactivates the ACPI system almost completely; only the components required for hyper threading will be used. noapic Disable the "Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)". nolapic Disable the "local APIC". apm=off OR noapm Disable the Advanced Power Management. irqpoll Changes the way the kernel handles interrupt calls (set it to polling). Can be useful in case of hardware interrupt issues. xforcevesa Force X to start using VESA driver. Usefull for some notebooks with uncommon video interfaces.
