It happened the moment I added this to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, `nouveau.noaccel=1', like so: linux /vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-686-pae root=UUID=83a94f1d-e6e6-432e-86ad-b24754755fff ro quiet splash nouveau.noaccel=1 Harry wrote: >> So it means I cannot have an unattended bootup, but that is usually >> what I do anyway so not a huge problem, but wondered if there might be >> some other way to disable acceleration that on the kernel line?

It appeared, at this end, to start the moment I added the nouveau snippet to linux line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg For a moment, I thought perhaps the `=1' is somehow being interpreted as an instruction to boot single mode. But, just now, removing that nouveau part from linux line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, reboot, and still the bootup goes to single or maintenance mode. ... although clicking C-d to skip it appears to boot with no problems. That last would seem to indicate there is no actual problem bringing on single mode. How does /proc/cmdline get set? It is apparently something one is not supposed to edit. But that `single' bit has remained, since I removed nouveau.noaccel=1 from /boot/grub/grub.cfg cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-686-pae root=UUID=83a94f1d-e6e6-432e-86ad-b24754755fff ro single Where is it coming from? I'm not purposely passing anything at bootup and have removed my edits to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
