

nodma

Disables DMA for all IDE disk drives. Prevents kernel from freezing on some hardware.



nofw

Disables FireWire (IEEE1394) support.



nopcmcia

Disables PCMCIA hardware detection.



nomouse

Disables mouse support.



[module name]=off

Disables the module (e.g. sata_sis=off).



pci=bios

Forces to use PCI BIOS, and not to access the hardware device directly. For instance, this parameter
may be used if the machine has a non-standard PCI host bridge.



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.

Bootable media selection

Select a destination for bootable media creation:



CD-R/RW - if you are creating CD, insert a blank disc so that the program can determine its
capacity.



ISO image - having created an ISO disk image, you will be able to burn it onto any kind of
recordable DVD, using DVD recording software. Creating a bootable DVD directly from Bootable
Media Builder is impossible.



any other media your PC can boot from, such as USB flash drives, etc.
