[14:20] I am getting a kernel panic trying to boot the live cds (jaunty, ibex and kam, bug report coming monday) What are the kernel parms to turn off 'everything' ? [14:21] it's a P3, so nothing new [16:38] CarlFK: I don't know of any kernel parameters that turn off everything, short of not booting the kernel :-) The most common ones are accessible from F6 at the CD boot menu. If that doesn't work then kernel folks are likely to be much more qualified to help you than us
