My specs: Ubuntu 10.04 custom livecd on usb (made with remastersys); Sony Vaio VGN-P588E
I realize that 10.04 is long retired, but my query has to do with adding a temporary boot command or actually editing the isolinux.cfg
The Vaio will black-screen unless "mem=1900MB" is added in the menu.lst (the Poulsbo driver needs some ram)
At the menu of my custom livecd, after hitting tab, I get:
initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --
My research says put the "mem=1900MB" after the "--" and a space [Obviously, without the quotes], but the Vaio is still black-screening.
What is the proper syntax at boot, and can I edit the isolinux.cfg on the usb drive to make this permanent?
Many thanks for any help,
Jake
