To select a component:

Select the check box of the program you want to include into the bootable media. The bottom
field displays the space required for the selected components. If you have other Acronis products
installed on your computer, you can also include standalone versions of these programs into the
same bootable media.

If automatic start of the program is necessary, select the Starts automatically after check box.
The Start automatically after parameter specifies the timeout interval for the boot menu. If this
parameter is not specified, the program will display the boot menu and wait for you to select
whether to boot the OS or the Acronis component. If you set, for example, 10 sec for Acronis
rescue media, the standalone Small Office Backup will launch 10 seconds after the menu is
displayed.

Bootable media startup parameters

Here, you can set bootable media startup parameters in order to configure rescue media boot
options for better compatibility with different hardware. Several options are available (nousb,
nomouse, noapic, etc.). These parameters are provided for advanced users. If you encounter any
hardware compatibility problems while testing boot from the rescue media, it may be best to contact
Acronis Technical Support.

To add a startup parameter

Enter a command into the Parameters field.

Having specified the startup parameters, click Next to continue.

Additional parameters that can be applied prior to booting Linux kernel

Description

The following parameters can be used to load Linux kernel in a special mode:

acpi=off

Disables ACPI and may help with a particular hardware configuration.

noapic

Disables APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) and may help with a particular
hardware configuration.

nousb

Disables loading of USB modules.

nousb2

Disables USB 2.0 support. USB 1.1 devices still work with this option. This option allows using some
USB drives in USB 1.1 mode, if they do not work in USB 2.0 mode.

quiet

This parameter is enabled by default and the startup messages are not displayed. Deleting it will
result in the startup messages being displayed as the Linux kernel is loaded and the command shell
being offered prior to running the Acronis program.
