What are these boot parameters about? I tried to google up some information but found nothing instructive except the connection between apic and Nvidia cards.

I was advised to try one of these three during bootup to get past a freeze. None worked, but the first one, apic, froze me at Setting up CMOS Clock whereas the others froze me at the INIT setup.

So what does all this mean?

If you have kernel sources installed, look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. If not google for kernel-parameters.txt. Lot's of parameters and options without a lot of detail on each one, but a place to start. Doug
