If not configured, the Acronis loader waits for someone to select whether to boot the
operating system (if present) or the Acronis component.

If you set, say, 10 sec., Acronis Disk Director will launch 10 seconds after the menu is
displayed.

4. The type of media to create. You can:

create CD, DVD or other bootable media such as removable USB flash drives if the hardware
BIOS allows for boot from such media

build an ISO image of a bootable disc to burn it later on to a blank disc

5. Path to the media ISO file.

Kernel parameters

This window lets you specify one or more parameters of the Linux kernel. They will be automatically
applied when the bootable media starts.

These parameters are typically used when experiencing problems while working with the bootable
media. Normally, you can leave this field empty.

You can also specify any of these parameters by pressing F11 while in the boot menu.

Parameters

When specifying multiple parameters, separate them with spaces.

acpi=off

Disables Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). You may want to use this
parameter when experiencing problems with a particular hardware configuration.

noapic

Disables Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC). You may want to use this
parameter when experiencing problems with a particular hardware configuration.

vga=ask

Prompts for the video mode to be used by the bootable media's graphical user interface.
Without the vga parameter, the video mode is detected automatically.

vga=mode_number

Specifies the video mode to be used by the bootable media's graphical user interface. The mode
number is given by mode_number in the hexadecimal format—for example: vga=0x318
Screen resolution and the number of colors corresponding to a mode number may be different
on different machines. We recommend using the vga=ask parameter first to choose a value for
mode_number.

quiet

Disables displaying of startup messages when the Linux kernel is loading, and starts the
management console after the kernel is loaded.
This parameter is implicitly specified when creating the bootable media, but you can remove this
parameter while in the boot menu.
Without this parameter, all startup messages will be displayed, followed by a command prompt.
To start the management console from the command prompt, run the command: /bin/product
