=== Options for the boot command line. ===

This list is not comprehensive but it contains some of the common options.
When presented with the text on the screen "boot: " then the options below can be given.
They must have the kernel name before the option.
e.g.
boot: linux noacpi
Options can be used together.


Option: '''noacpi'''

Impact: Does not start the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Can prevent the impact of bad ACPI implementations, which in turn cause random reboots or system lockups.

Option: '''noapic nolapic'''

Impact: A broken "Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller" may work with this option. They usually randomly freeze machines or produce repetitive messages about IRQ issues.		 #refresh 0 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
