| | Ok, now can you try booting with either of those args :
| |
| | noreplace-paravirt
| | noreplace-smp
| |
| | And see which one(s) works ?
|
| noreplace-paravirt works, the other one causes no change.
I have asked Mandriva and Ubuntu users to test this and all of
them so far are saying that noreplace-paravirt works.
It makes the system slower, but it works.
