The boot args are ignored. ide=nodma as a kernel option is ignored because some module loading patch (specific to Debian IIRC) hardcodes loading "ide". So even if you add the boot arg specifically not to do that, it happens anyway before the boot args are parsed. (sorry if this is quite vague/wrong, it is from memory from some months ago last time I tried to beat it) I am also stung by this bug due to a hosed DMA controller on my laptop. I will boot my laptop with this problem when I am not at work and to try and hunt down the exact spot again. (it was a while ago I found it, but I'm pretty sure I did find it. [Lenny]) here are a few potential suspects: Lenny:/usr/share/initramfs-tools$ grep -r -w ide * | cut -f1 -d: | uniq hook-functions hooks/live scripts/init-top/all_generic_ide scripts/live-premount/modules scripts/live or perhaps in modutils. ? thanks, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
