Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11 - DEPLOYMENT GUIDE 17-03-2009 Deployment Manual page 157

11.4.1 Using the Default Boot Options
The boot options are described in detail in Chapter 3, Installation with YaST (page 17).
Generally, just selecting Installation starts the installation boot process.
If problems occur, use Installation—ACPI Disabled or Installation—Safe Settings. For
more information about troubleshooting the installation process, refer to Section "In-
stallation Problems" (Chapter 7, Common Problems and Their Solutions, ↑System
Analysis and Tuning Guide).
The menu bar at the bottom screen offers some advanced functionality needed in some
setups. Using the F keys, you can specify additional options to pass to the installation
routines without having to know the detailed syntax of these parameters (see Sec-
tion 11.4.2, "Using Custom Boot Options" (page 147)). A detailed description of the
available function keys is available at Section 3.4, "The Boot Screen" (page 21).
11.4.2 Using Custom Boot Options
Using the appropriate set of boot options helps facilitate your installation procedure.
Many parameters can also be configured later using the linuxrc routines, but using the
boot options is easier. In some automated setups, the boot options can be provided with
initrd or an info file.
The following table lists all installation scenarios mentioned in this chapter with the
required parameters for booting and the corresponding boot options. Just append all of
them in the order they appear in this table to get one boot option string that is handed
to the installation routines. For example (all in one line):
install=... netdevice=... hostip=...netmask=... vnc=... vncpassword=...
Replace all the values ... in this string with the values appropriate for your setup.
