The suggested format works. The fact that other things work is icing on the cake. |
Description of problem: The text on page "F4-Kernel" of the phoebe cd1 boot menu says : "... if a different installation mode is desired, enter it after the option(s)." But I tested and both forms "linux text ide=nodma" and "linux ide=nodma text" work without problems. So the text is misleading. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phoebe 8.0.93 anaconda-runtime-8.0.93-8.i386.rpm How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the cd1 2. press F4 , see the text 3. boot with "linux text ide=nodma" or "linux ide=nodma text" Actual results: Both variations boot in text mode, with dma disabled Expected results: The first boot command should fail, according to the text.
