Ubuntu 12.04:

  BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-37-generic root=UUID=... ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7

Knoppix 7.2:

  lang=en apm=power-off initrd=minirt.gz nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 BOOT_IMAGE=linux

- Ubuntu: http://www.blazemonger.com/dmesg.txt
- Knoppix: http://www.blazemonger.com/dmesg-knoppix.txt
