During the bare metal installation, there is a pause which allows you to specify the boot parameters. A number of boot options are available:

  • install - Start the installation with no boot parameters. This is the default boot option and will be executed if no boot parameters are entered.
  • acpinoirq - Boot with acpi=noirq. This disables PCI Interrupt Request (IRQ) routing in Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).
  • acpino - Boot with acpi=no. This disables ACPI.
  • pcibiosirq - Boot with pci=biosirq. This uses PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table.

To specify the desired boot option, type the parameter value as outlined in bold in the points above. If a boot parameter is mistyped, an error will be displayed.

When one of the above boot parameters are specified, the settings will be applied to the LoadMaster Operating System (OS).
