They do *not* make it easy. But it's always a good reminder to say "max xxx" or "google xxx". It lets us appear guru-like without exposing very much of our ignorance! ;=)) > <snip> And I still don't, but maybe a clue? Kernel parameter *if* allowed. I'm looking for the list of those on my machine now. Haven't found them yet, but ... Maybe what's shown here? http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO.html#ss2.6 2.6 Passing Arguments to the `init' program. Any remaining arguments that were not picked up by the kernel and were not interpreted as environment variables are then passed onto process one, which is usually the init program. ... 3.4 Other Misc. Kernel Boot Arguments These various boot arguments let the user tune certain internal kernel parameters.<snip other interesting stuff> The `console=' Argument Usually the console is the 1st virtual terminal, and so boot messages appear on your VGA screen. Sometimes it is nice to be able to use another device like a serial port (or even a printer!) to be the console when no video device is present. It is also useful to capture boot time messages if a problem stops progress before they can be logged to disk. An example would be to use console=ttyS1,9600 for selecting the 2nd serial port at 9600 baud to be the console. More information can be found in linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt However, this HOWTO is not updated recently, soooooo .... who really knows. > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
