Long ago Redhat and early Fedora versions had the option of pressing the
letter i at boot to have it request for loading of the individual kernel options.
Used it long ago, but haven't seen it for a long time, and search show the old
one, but not how it was done, or if it was something only on the redhat.
Have a project that I have handled since 2004, and it works fine using
kernel.org source code to build on versions up to my current Fedora 28
system.
Have an user with an IBM Thinkpad t440p and it freezes with all 5 of the
kernels that are included, plus with safe mode options, and debug options.
Originally, the last message was about ata8 device. Built a special kernel
with all ata modules removed, and lock just showed a different last message,
so am thinking it is what loads next that is freezing.
Looked thru the kernel options, and don't see anything about an interactive
option.
Just wondering if someone might know how that interactive boot process was
done.
Thanks.
