I'm not sure how to check that, but the boot directory usually has the config files for each installed kernel, and maybe you could grep it for the appropriate switch. Again, I don't know the name of that switch, I just know that I've seen it while configuring a kernel. Another idea. Maybe you can run dracut on the vmlinuz from the DVD, and generate a custom (I think that is the -h option) initramfs for your system. Use it instead of the one from the DVD when you boot from grub. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
