The comment attached to bug #28102 about adding parameters after the terminal "--" on the kernel line *may* apply. I can't readily test it; an installation on this machine takes 2-3 hours.
I've not seen this documented anywhere else before; perhaps it needs to be more widely known? ** Description changed: - This bug is the same problem as closed bugs #8093 and #8289.

My machine (IBM ThinkPad model i1200 Series 1161-93G, DVD-ROM, 320MB RAM, 20GB HD, latest BIOS) needs special kernel parameters to be passed to boot successfully. Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.06-1 worked if I edited the GRUB boot commands and passed the "irqpoll" parameter. If I did this to enable the machine to boot from CD, the installer picked up the parameter and included it in the installed system. 7.04 and 7.10 beta do not do this. The bare "irqpoll" parameter is no longer enough; after considerable experimentation, I have found that I now need to enter "acpi=force irqpoll" for a successful boot, but the installation program does not pick this up and add it to the installed system, resulting in an installation that will not boot. -- initial kernel boot parameters are not picked up in installed version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
