Re: how to pass "disable acpi" to the kernel via grub

["Michael Litchard" <michael%schmong.org@localhost>]

I'm going to try and disable acpi, and see if that helps my vncserver problems.
The -c flag seems to lock things up. This is what my menu.lst file
looks like. Is my syntax correct?
# Same as above, but using VGA console
# We can use console=tty0 (Linux syntax) or console=pc (NetBSD syntax)
title Xen 3.0 / NetBSD (hda0, vga)
  root(hd0,0)
  kernel (hd0,a)/xen.gz acpi=off dom0_mem=1048576
  module (hd0,a)/netbsd-XEN3_DOM0.gz -c bootdev=wd0a ro console=tty0
