Hi,

First of all thankx to all the developers for making & supporting such an gr8 system

:cool:

i am facing some problems with XBMC Live. I have installed it on usb drive.

the problem is that XBMC does not boot if i connect my SATA Drive. if i unplug it has no problems.. Even Ubuntu 8.04 had problem detecting my SATA controller as I am using a VIA Chipset Asus A8V-VM. But i was able to get around it by adding "pci=nomsi" command before installing Ubuntu By pressing F6.

So i just want to ask if same process can be done to XBMC at the boot menu before it boots. can i add commands???


Regards,
Deathbearer:eek:

edit the file syslinux.cfg in the root of the USB stick. you can append the necessary kernel option to the end of whichever option you use (Nvidia, ATI, Intel)
