I think you would get comments about typing in all-caps on d*mn near
any internet forum, with varying degrees of politeness. But welcome
anyway.
Certain hardware configurations don't work with default Linux boot
parameters. If the LiveCD craps out as soon as it exits grub/lilo and
tries to load the kernel, the first cheatcode I try is "nodma". The
next most frequent cheatcode I use is "vga=788" to force 800x600x16
resolution on older machines.
Some grub boot menus give you a text box to enter the code(s) in,
others give you a command-prompt line where you have to type something
like "linux nodma" (or "knoppix nodma" or "dsl nodma"). They'll tell
you the exact command, in an F1 or F2 help screen.
Feel free to experiment with other cheatcodes.
