
pci=nobios
Disallows use of PCI BIOS; only direct hardware access methods are allowed. For instance, this
parameter may be used if you experience crashes upon boot-up, probably caused by the BIOS.

pci=biosirq
Uses PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table. These calls are known to be buggy on several
machines and they hang the machine when used, but on other computers it is the only way to get
the interrupt routing table. Try this option, if the kernel is unable to allocate IRQs or discover
secondary PCI buses on your motherboard.

vga=ask
Gets the list of the video modes available for your video card and allows selecting a video mode most
suitable for the video card and monitor. Try this option, if the automatically selected video mode is
unsuitable for your hardware.
8.1.1.3 Creating a custom WinPE 3.0 ISO with your drivers
Sometimes a basic WinPE disk with Acronis Plug-in does not have drivers for your specific hardware,
for example, for storage device controllers. Users of Windows 7 can add such drivers to the basic
WinPE 3.0 image (WIM) before creating an ISO file with Acronis Plug-in.
Attention! You can only add drivers which have the .inf filename extension.
The following procedure is based on an MSDN article that can be found at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799244(WS.10).aspx
To create a custom Windows PE image, proceed as follows:
1. In the Start menu, click Microsoft Windows AIK, then right-click Deployment Tools Command
Prompt and select Run as administrator.
2. Run the copype.cmd script to create a folder with Windows PE files. For example, from a
command prompt, type:
copype x86 C:\winpe_x86
3. Mount the base image by using the DISM tool to a local directory. For example,
Dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\winpe_x86\winpe.wim /index:1
/MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount
4. Add your hardware driver by using the Dism command with the /Add-Driver option. For example:
Dism /image:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Add-Driver /driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.inf
5. Repeat Step 4 for all other drivers you need to add.
6. Commit the changes using the Dism command with the /Unmount-Wim /Commit option.
Dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\winpe_x86\mount /Commit
Do not exit the command prompt.
7. Start Acronis Media Builder and add Acronis plug-in to the custom .wim file. Refer to Creating
bootable media (p. 106) for details.
8. Create a PE image (.iso file) from the resulting .wim file. Refer to Creating an .iso file from a .wim
file for details.
8.1.1.4 Creating an .iso file from a .wim file
To create a bootable media by using a .wim file, you need to convert it to an .iso file first.
