Description of problem:
Same problem as documented (extensively) in bug ID 29555

Would appreciate a solution that allows me to retain use of the Survival CD; 
expected resolution is either kernel parameters, BIOS flash update / 
reconfiguration, or an updated Survival CD image that can be burned to new CD-R 
media.

Flagging this as High severity/priority due to the fact that it prevents me 
from using the "Survival" recovery CD.
