I am guessing that you modified the kernel boot arguments, but unfortuanetly, I am unfamiliar with the new loader.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Stephan<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></blockquote></div></body></html>
