The bugzilla thread says to put it in the kernel line of the grub.conf file. Below is my grub.conf file and as you can see, it has 2 kernel lines both of which have options attached. What do I do? (I feel like such an idiot having to ask) I am hesitant to make changes without being sure of how to do it, as having to rebuild this machine would put a significant dent in my available time Thanks for your help TIM
