The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
(mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
APIC APIC support is enabled.

+ boot_delay= Milliseconds to delay each printk during boot.
+ Values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are changed to
+ no delay (0).
+ Format: integer
+
bttv.card= [HW,V4L] bttv (bt848 + bt878 based grabber cards)
bttv.radio= Most important insmod options are available as
kernel args too.
dtc3181e= [HW,SCSI]
- earlyprintk= [X86-32,X86-64,SH]
+ earlyprintk= [X86-32,X86-64,SH,BLACKFIN]

+ libata.noacpi [LIBATA] Disables use of ACPI in libata suspend/resume
+ when set.
+ Format: <int>
+
load_ramdisk= [RAM] List of ramdisks to load from floppy
See Documentation/ramdisk.txt.
n must be a power of two. The default size
is set in the kernel config file.
+ logo.nologo [FB] Disables display of the built-in Linux logo.
+ This may be used to provide more screen space for
+ kernel log messages and is useful when debugging
+ kernel boot problems.
+
lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
meye.*= [HW] Set MotionEye Camera parameters
See Documentation/video4linux/meye.txt.
+ mfgpt_irq= [IA-32] Specify the IRQ to use for the
+ Multi-Function General Purpose Timers on AMD Geode
+ platforms.
+
mga= [HW,DRM]
mousedev.tap_time=
[NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
entries.
+ nfs.enable_ino64=
+ [NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
+ If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
+ number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
+ of returning the full 64-bit number.
+ The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
+
nmi_watchdog= [KNL,BUGS=X86-32] Debugging features for SMP kernels
no387 [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
is present.
- noacpi [LIBATA] Disables use of ACPI in libata suspend/resume
- when set.
- Format: <int>
-
noaliencache [MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
caches in the slab allocator. Saves per-node memory,
but will impact performance.
nomce [X86-32] Machine Check Exception
+ nomfgpt [X86-32] Disable Multi-Function General Purpose
+ Timer usage (for AMD Geode machines).
+
noreplace-paravirt [X86-32,PV_OPS] Don't patch paravirt_ops
noreplace-smp [X86-32,SMP] Don't replace SMP instructions
Mechanism 1.
conf2 [X86-32] Force use of PCI Configuration
Mechanism 2.
+ noaer [PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
+ enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
+ disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
+ nodomains [PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
+ root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
nommconf [X86-32,X86_64] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
Configuration
nomsi [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
IRQ routing is enabled.
noacpi [X86-32] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
or for PCI scanning.
+ use_crs [X86-32] Use _CRS for PCI resource
+ allocation.
routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
so this option is a temporary workaround
pt. [PARIDE]
See Documentation/paride.txt.
+ pty.legacy_count=
+ [KNL] Number of legacy pty's. Overwrites compiled-in
+ default number.
+
quiet [KNL] Disable most log messages
r128= [HW,DRM]
raid= [HW,RAID]
See Documentation/md.txt.
- ramdisk= [RAM] Sizes of RAM disks in kilobytes [deprecated]
- See Documentation/ramdisk.txt.
-
ramdisk_blocksize= [RAM]
See Documentation/ramdisk.txt.
ramdisk_size= [RAM] Sizes of RAM disks in kilobytes
- New name for the ramdisk parameter.
See Documentation/ramdisk.txt.
rcu.blimit= [KNL,BOOT] Set maximum number of finished
reboot= [BUGS=X86-32,BUGS=ARM,BUGS=IA-64] Rebooting mode
Format: <reboot_mode>[,<reboot_mode2>[,...]]
- See arch/*/kernel/reboot.c or arch/*/kernel/process.c
+ See arch/*/kernel/reboot.c or arch/*/kernel/process.c
reserve= [KNL,BUGS] Force the kernel to ignore some iomem area
selinux_compat_net =
[SELINUX] Set initial selinux_compat_net flag value.
- Format: { "0" | "1" }
- 0 -- use new secmark-based packet controls
- 1 -- use legacy packet controls
- Default value is 0 (preferred).
- Value can be changed at runtime via
- /selinux/compat_net.
+ Format: { "0" | "1" }
+ 0 -- use new secmark-based packet controls

serialnumber [BUGS=X86-32]
Format:
<io>,<irq>,<dma>,<dma2>,<sb_io>,<sb_irq>,<sb_dma>,<mpu_io>,<mpu_irq>
- tsdev.xres= [TS] Horizontal screen resolution.
- tsdev.yres= [TS] Vertical screen resolution.
-
turbografx.map[2|3]= [HW,JOY]
TurboGraFX parallel port interface
Format:
norandmaps Don't use address space randomization
Equivalent to echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
- unwind_debug=N N > 0 will enable dwarf2 unwinder debugging
+ unwind_debug=N N > 0 will enable dwarf2 unwinder debugging
This is useful to get more information why
you got a "dwarf2 unwinder stuck"
