Jay,
You know we are only giving you a hard time...
I really to try to go the easy route, if at all possible because I
don't want to ahve to remember what I did after an upgrade.
FOR INSTANCE, I need to set noapic on the kernel line in grub. Under
Ubuntu, after a new kernel is installed, I lose the setting and have
to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Well, no more! I met the guy who maintains grub and u add to the
defoptions line noapic.
See, a single # is NOT a comment and the depoptions is applied to each
kernel line.
RTM, I know...
