Hi all, to start linux (SuSE 9.1) on my notebook I must pass "apm=off" on boot. Since that notebook has to be used by my daughter (and she doesn't have any idea about what linux is, of course) I tried to add that option into grub configuration. No success (and I don't know why). Here is my grub configuration: title SuSE linux kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x305 spalsh=silent i810fb desktop resume=/dev/hda5 showopts initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd I tried to insert apm=off after showopts - it doesn't work - so in any other place from root=/dev/hda6 to showopts - same result. I have to type apm=off on boot every time. Should I use lilo? ;-\ Bye emilio

So the word splash is spelled spalsh? That is the typo I was referring to with "^^^^^^" under it. And that is most likely the reason you are having problems. Grub encounters an error and stops processing any more parameters on the line after the error, in this case "spalsh=silent". -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Sorry, Ken but the ^^^^ in your reply were under /dev/hda6 ;-). spalsh is a typo!

spalsh is a typo!
Using evolution here and the "^^^^^^" was under the spalsh part. Maybe time to switch to something else or perhaps a different font. I think I am using a fixed width font (monospace) which may be the difference. After checking the web archives I see what you probably see which is different from what I see. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

It doesn't work! ;-(( I am completely frustrated. I don't understand such a behavior. Why does apm=off option work if inserted at the grub prompt while not added in menu.lst? Ciao emilio

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure that the "kernel" line is all one line, even though it displays on two or more lines in the editor. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

You haven't shown us the 'kernel' line you actually used (that didn't work) and I note that you have 'splash' mispelled above. Not sure what the kernel does when it comes across an argument that it doesn't recognize but it may well stop parsing the rest of the line.
Any way back to your original question just add apm=off to the kernel line.
