Welcome to @@@product@@@
Use this menu to select the desired function. If you have problems navigating in this help system, press @@@fkey_help@@@ to enter the description of the help system. The main functions in this menu are:
Boot from Hard Disk: This selection will not do anything to the system. It only starts a previously installed operating system.
Installation: This installation mode works on most machines. If you experience a system freeze during boot or problems with detection of your hardware components, such as disk controllers or network cards, try one of the following installation options.
Installation -- ACPI Disabled: Many of the currently-sold computers have incomplete or faulty ACPI implementations. This selection disables ACPI support in the kernel, but still enables many performance features, like DMA for IDE hard disks.
Installation -- Local APIC Disabled: If the normal installation fails, this might be due to the system hardware not supporting local APIC. If this seems to be the case, use this option to install without local APIC support.
Installation -- Safe Settings: If you were not successful with Installation, this selection might solve the issue.
Rescue System: This boot image starts a small Linux system in RAM. This is useful if the system does not start properly. After booting this system, log in as root.
Firmware Test: Runs a BIOS test tool that validates ACPI and other parts of your BIOS.
Memory Test: Memory testing is useful for more than checking installation of new memory modules. It is a stress test for a big part of your computer system and may indicate hardware problems.
Boot Options: The boot options may change the behavior of your system completely. They are settings for the kernel.
@@@fkey_help@@@ Help: This is context sensitive. It will show different screens depending on the active element of the boot screen. There is also a description of this help system available.
@@@fkey_lang@@@: Set language and keyboard mapping used by the boot loader.
@@@fkey_video@@@ Video Mode: Here, choose between different screen resolutions while installing. If you encounter problems with the graphical installation, the text mode may be a work-around for you.
@@@fkey_inst@@@ Installation Source: Choose the installation source.
@@@fkey_dud@@@ Driver Update: For very new machines, a driver update may be needed to install the system.
