Yes, kernel tells that this is invalid boot option, but as you may know unrecognized options are passed through the chain.. According documentation on the install disk ( /media/cdrom0/doc/install/manual/en/ch05s02.html )
Section "5.2.1.3. Blacklisting kernel modules", you can read: "You can blacklist a module using the following syntax: module_name.blacklist=yes. This will cause the module to be blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local both during the installation and for the installed system. Note that a module may still be loaded by the installation system itself. You can prevent that from happening by running the installation in expert mode and unselecting the module from the list of modules displayed during the hardware detection phases." So, if I add on the boot line: ata_piix.blacklist=yes and after boot I quit text mode installer and type: lsmod |grep ata_piix I don't see this module loaded which confirms that module is blacklisted. I can try to dig more, but currently at least I have working Kubuntu after all this. -- SATA HDD not recognized during Breezy Colony 4 install or Dapper Flight 3 or Edgy Eft or Feisty Fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
