Is that the content of /proc/cmdline, or your perusal of some latter portion your Grub menu file? If the former, why are you using it???
Felix, it is in fact the contents of the /boot/grub.d/grub.cfg. to give you what you requested, rather than asking why you requested it:
more /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.9-5-desktop root=UUID=a3b45d4e-a3dc-4e0f-9b24-2d0d4f65c221 noapic nolapic apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off hires=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST9320421ASG_5TJ0Q4HY-part2 splash=silent quiet showopts [snip]
Hmm, when I compare that to my /proc/cmdline, the short answer would be to remove the following options: noapic nolapic apm=off noresume edd=off nohz=off hires=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset Now, if you are unsure wether or not you NEED one of these options, start the remove action with: edd=off (Monitor modi detection stuff, uncritical on most systems) hires=off (hires timer, uncritical on most systems) noapic, nolapic (every modern (past 2003/2004) needs apic to controll interrupt handling, no apic = nosmp) apm=off (system power management, only need for shitty BIOS) nohz=off (AFAIK Intel speedstep / AMD Cool'n'Quiet need that removed) processor.max_cstate=1 (removal of this should be uncritical in nearly all situations) nomodeset (when you remove this, the kernel tries to use kms during startup) Addenum: For a first blind try I would remove: "apm=off edd=off nohz=off hires=off processor.max_cstate=1" That still does not give you SMP, but gives you a measure off security. If the system still works fine (other than no smp), you have a first win on your side. For the second try remove additionally: "noapic nolapic" This should give you SMP. At last you can remove: "nomodeset noresume" To get a near standard install. I hope this give you a hint where to start. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
