Disallows use of PCI BIOS; only direct hardware access methods are allowed. For instance, this
parameter may be used if you experience crashes upon boot-up, probably caused by the BIOS.
pci=biosirq
Uses PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt routing table. These calls are known to be buggy on several
machines and they hang the machine when used, but on other computers it is the only way to get the
interrupt routing table. Try this option, if the kernel is unable to allocate IRQs or discover secondary
PCI buses on your motherboard.
vga=ask
Gets the list of the video modes available for your video card and allows selecting a video mode most
suitable for the video card and monitor. Try this option, if the automatically selected video mode is
unsuitable for your hardware.
