Boot installation media F5 Select safe settings Wait for installation GUI to paint the screen Ctrl-Alt-F2 # cat /proc/cmdline
I experimented with the above "Safe Settings" and found that the only one that is required is acpi=off. And with thatthe system boots, but xosview only shows 3 cpus rather that the usual 7. Could the hyperthreading (if that is what they still call it) be disabled with lack of acpi? I tried the following options listed in kernel-parameters.txt, acpi=noirq, acpi=strict, and acpi=rsdt but none were successful. There are 26 more acpi related commands listed indicating a complex subsystem, but I do not know enough currently to experiment further.
Well, that is interesting.
Ideas welcome.
Bugzilla.

I am tired. I meant 4 cpus rather than the usual 8. Sorry.
